Who said what: Sporting fraternity reacts to Salman Khan's appointment as Goodwill Ambassador for Rio 2016

AGAINST

1.Shiva Keshavan

Yet another #BrandAambassador for indian Olympians. Apparently India has money to hire superstars but not pay its athletes. Spare some irony

2.Milkha Singh

“India has produced so many sportspersons who have given their sweat and blood for the country like PT Usha, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Ajit Pal and so many others. One of these could have been made a goodwill ambassador. What was the need to import a person from Bollywood?

"I want to make it clear that I am not against Salman Khan, but the decision of the IOA is wrong and the government should intervene in the matter. This is for the first time I am seeing a Bollywood hero being made goodwill ambassador for Olympics. I want to ask has Bollywood ever made any sportsperson an ambassador for any of their mega event?"

3.Vikram Sathaye

A Bollywood actor to become India's ambassador of the greatest sporting event is a reflection of whats wrong with Indian sports! #olympics
