Boxing
Boxing is another sport that we have allowed to do nearly anything without too much fuss. It seems as if the people of this beautiful twin island republic are just not in touch with what is going. Can anyone explain, why is that the people of this country only seemed to be interested in what was going on with the appointment of Boxu Potts as a special advisor to the Boxing Board, when the matter was raised on both i95.5fm (Isports Thursday and Saturday) and Synergy Sports. It is amazing, how in the first place, the powers that control sports in this country could believe that they would escape censoring from the people. It can only mean, that they realised the don't care attitude of our people, that anyone can get away with nearly any deed no matter how dastardly. It is the same old saying we like it so.
Motorsport
In Motorsport, there is the situation where the T&T Automobile Sports Association has caused a major eruption in the motor sport industry with their choice of Daniel Ramoutarsingh instead of Sheldon Bissessar which can only tarnish the sports. Yet still the majority of the persons, who claim they love this sport, have stood idly by and done absolutely nothing about what is a clear injustice. And what is doubly amazing is that many of those involved in motor sport always claim that they care the most for their sport, yet still this has occurred. But so be it we like it so.
nSummary
So how will it all end, another year, another set of errant sports administrators who if allowed to go unchecked, will continue to reek ruin and havoc on the sporting world that is T&T.
Unless we, the people, begin to ask for accountability and transparency, and demand more, then we cannot expect any change or any long term solution to this persistent problem of persons spoiling the respective sport because of their individual petulance. And the truth is the same old-We like it so-is just not good enough.
It never was and never will be, but so be it.
