Twitter reacts after Saina Nehwal initially threatened to pull out of Commonwealth Games 2018

Nehwal sent a letter to IOA after her father wasn't initially allowed inside the athletes' village.

Really not a professional attitude shown by @NSaina . Instead of concentrating on the game she is trying to misuse her celebrity status to favor her parents. Better focus on the game than politicizing the event.

Bollywood stars travel with an army:) , there are more govt officials than Indian athletes in Olympics. At least allow @NSaina father to go with her. I’m sure this can be sorted ! #saina

Don't do drama and throw tantrums! You won't remain half the player you are by doing so!

Saina Nehwal threatened & blackmailed to not play CWG if father isn’t accredited to allow him inside. @ioaindia agrees.

What arrogance and blackmail. IOA should have told her to pack her bags.

Not something you expect a senior player like Saina Nehwal to crib about. #CWG2018 #CommonwealthGames pic.twitter.com/2OB9be4jJa

Am sure as a member of the @olympics Athletes committee you are well aware of accreditation protocols. Wishing you all the best for the CWG.

Dunno about you but Saina's shameless blackmail is worse than Australia's ball-tampering episode.

And did not Saina Nehwal, superb talent on the badminton court no doubt, slam the Sports Ministry when she was "overlooked" for the Padma Bhushan back in 2015?

If Saina indeed threatened to pull out of CWG to make sure her father's accred is cleared, it's such a shame. Star power gone haywire in Indian sport once again.

This is no super series. Its a Games where she is representing India. That is paramount. If there was threat not to play, was in poor taste.

While i appreciate that @NSaina issue is sorted, if it was done because she refused to play,it is not befitting of a sportsperson like her.

Funny...how such things like demanding for money awards plots etc etc on social media doesn’t count for controversies...and when asked for right to play is controversial 😒🙄 #hypocrisytoanotherlevel

When something was promised and then not delivered it's of course wrong! You would have done the same if you were in her place

Hmmm..my family always paid for tickets n stayed in hotels...I have no idea what’s being promised n what’s the demand?? But for the games when u know dates long before the team leaves..isn’t it better to book n plan in advance? Threatening not play..is it correct??
