Melbourne Candid Series #976 Swanston St

 


Typically, the people of India harbor a fervent passion for cricket. It is quite uncommon, however, to encounter an ardent admirer of football among them. Yet, the scarf he wears proclaims his allegiance unmistakably.

It's intriguing how cultural tides shift with time. This gentle shift not only reflects the diversification of interests but also underscores the impact of globalisation on traditional sporting landscapes.

  4. Globalization is very good in some ways, but it seems that over time all continents will have similar cultures.
    It's strange to see someone in white in Melbourne...
    Good shot

  7. Times and fashions change. Despite everything, football is such a global sport that anywhere in the world we can find fans of one team or another. Very good photo!

  8. Quite a few of the Indian people I used to work with who had been in Australia for a long time were very keen on AFL football.

  9. Es cierto todo lo que comentas en tu explicación de lo que podemos ver en laimagen. Los gustos son muchas veces producto de una información que está o suela estar un tanto sesgada y que intenta atraer admiradores y seguidores de unos deportes a otros

  12. I haven't seen much cricket during my life. Of course, as a Canadian, I grew up with hockey. Now, I'm really trying to understand American football ~ another intellectual challenge. Have a good one, Roentare!
