The reality is Homer has written his name into our sporting records. I am sure, having met him when the Guardian Sports Desk honoured him in December, he is not going to let McLeod and company impede his thirst to repeat his success at the senior Olympic Games. He is among the youth whose spirit and energy I admire. They harmonise our nation. Homer, Bravo, Thompson, Lyons, Barath and all the others. When adults conspire to daunt their spirits with asinine arguments and decisions, we run the risk of not only demotivating them, but rob our nation of the vitality that powers our society in these extremely difficult times. Young Lyons must show how much of a tiger he is. He must perform the Christian act and give way to Homer. Tell them he is not interested in their nomination. Show them that young people can think for themselves and will not be part of any decisions that may be interpreted as nefarious. Then he most certainly will have my vote for the FCSF youth award in 2011!
