Ganguly did it from the Indian team viewing pavilion. A private area.
What the Pakistani team players did was on the pitch and meant for all to see.

Subtle gradations are not a Pakistani forte I see.

There is no private area thing when you do it in public, typical hypocrisy.

Perhaps you dont understand the difference between the private Indian team viewing area(where Ganguly did) in a stadium and the playing field in the center of the stadium(where the Pakistani team got semi-nude).

Its understandable. Its not your fault mate.

I don't follow hockey but I did hear once some indian players tried to attack Pakistani players when they were winning.

That is not true. You watch the full video of the match. Pakistani players started behaving weird as soon as the closing whistle rang.

You are just trying to justify a bad behavior or an Indian player, how you will justify what Indian hockey player did to a Australian player which India lost today?

Nope. Not justifying. Ganguly did wrong. Period.

But that was one man, in a private area. Pakistanis using his example are just trying to muddy the water and removing the clear difference between the two incidents.

And I dont know what incident you are talking about.

There should be no place for rouges in sports,we dont know why they had to do that,some members claimed they where provoked by the crowd,still thats not an excuse there is a reason why the players are called professionals and the crowd is not.

World Hockey Body Suspends Two Pakistani Players Following Obscene Gestures

Moments after beating India, Pakistan players took off their jerseys and many made obscene gestures towards the spectators.

  • Muhammad Tousiq and reserve goalkeeper Ali Amjad were handed a one-match ban that sidelined them from the final of the eight-nation tournament against Germany later on Sunday in Bhubaneswar. (FIH Regrets Incident)

    Shafqat Rasool was reprimanded for the same offence, the International Hockey Federation announced after conducting a hearing with Pakistan coach Shahnaz Sheikh and the players earlier in the day.

    "The above-mentioned players were seen making gestures that are considered to be obscene," the FIH said in a statement without elaborating. The body had earlier cleared Pakistan of any wrongdoing.

    As the final hooter sounded in Saturday night's 4-3 thriller, excited Pakistani players took off their shirts and made rude gestures towards Indian fans at the packed 7,000-capacity Kalinga stadium.

    Shahnaz, a former international, also walked out of the post-match press conference in a huff after Indian reporters persisted in asking questions about his players' behaviour after the game.

    Tournament director Wiert Doyer, who investigated the incident soon after the match, had let the players off without any action after Shahnaz apologised for their actions.

    The FIH U-turn on Sunday came a few hours after Hockey India chief Narinder Batra demanded an unconditional apology from Pakistan and called for strict action by the governing body.

    "I am instructing my CEO to inform FIH that in case this kind of behaviour by teams is within normal and tolerable limits of FIH, then we may not be interested to host any more tournaments in India," Batra said in a statement.

    "The tournaments may be shifted to countries which tolerate this kind of nonsense and uncouth behaviour."

    India are due to host the 2018 World Cup.

    Batra also threatened to severe all ties with the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) unless they issued an unconditional apology.

    In a separate statement released by the FIH on Sunday, Shahnaz issued a fresh apology on behalf of the PHF.

    "The incident.....contained behaviour that is considered unacceptable to Pakistan Hockey Federation and the entire hockey fraternity," he was quoted as saying in the statement.

    "As the result, I have spoken to my team and explained to them that they are guests in India and as hosts they have been very hospitable to the team."

    The semi-final win helped Pakistan avenge their defeat by India in the Asian Games final in South Korea in October. That loss denied them a direct entry to the 2016 Olympics.
