I think ppl taking their personal social and political issues opinion and creating their own philosophies on how things shold run.
Who does the National football teams represent ?
- Tim Kee ? Warner ? Sancho? UNC ? PNM ? ILP ? You ? Me ? Corporate T&T ? Ppl of Laventille ? Fifa ? Expats ? Locals ? who really ?
All this time I thought is was all of the above. Yet some talking like they in a business of making money for themselves. WE - there's that word again - give all kind of funding, proper and improper to all kind of projects and developments that benefit all kinds of foreign vips, diplomats and ordinary foreign ppl, but the ppl who actually represent us on both local and international stages getting serious jam and are made to be scapegoats of all the corruption issues of the country. The organizers and staff, including the players of TT football are not the cause of the financial demise of Trnidad and Tobago. Even with mismanagement, and all the monies of the Warner era, cannot even come close to the waste and corruption of past TRINIDAD & TOBAGO adminstrators..but if we get rid of Tim Kee or Kamla or whoever, BOOM, things will run smoothly. Like how it run smoothly when we got rid of Camps, Warner, Manning, Panday, Robinson, Chambers & Williams.
The issue here is not Tim Kee and Sancho, it's us.
Yáll seem to think representing TT makes our athletes financially set for life ? Ppl seem to think all you have to do is submit your name, and like you win the lottery. Sure monies must be accounted for, sure checks and balances and audits must be in place, but if a entity,child start of in a hole and ppl just keep dumping dirt on it's head, then sooner or later, there won't be any room to grow,and hope & dreams soon change to realization that the hole is not a place of rebirth but just another grave.
Yes, It is the responsibility of the Government of TT - whichever government of TT - to promote and manage ventures that are in the best Interest of TT. They i.e. we are responsible for all things TT. This includes National representation on the world scene. Yet everyone focuses and admires on everything out there, and only willing to do what is necessary to get themselves as individuals to be part of that out there, and not appreciate what we have as a ppl and show that to the world.
I can't eloquently explain what I'm trying to say, but I'm sure some ppl understand what I mean.. as I said before, I think even on the 1st TT football site, to be successful on the world football stage, we first have to fix our society, indivually and collectively. No easy task, but the back biting and crab in the barrel political and social agendas must be put aside. We here on SW.net can make a start, by working together and pulling together, but if we gonna act like the status quo, then hell, the hole will always remain a grave and not a tunnel to a better place.
just my opinion.
