Brilliant job by Debbie Jacobs...

Save fuh de inane part about 'American Soul music'.  Dat is a common misperception that had absolutely nothing to do with the birth of SoKah.  Shorty described the music as the soul of calypso...nutten about soul and calypso.  As an 'ancient world history teacher' one would hope she'd be more accurate and not try and dispel misconception by seeding misconception.

Other dan dat...great rebuttal to the nonsense.

Pardna, read my post again. I not defending Jack, all I saying is that there is a big difference between unscrupulous and unethical behavior and criminal behavior. Jack didn't thief and he didn't blackmail or kill nobody, what he did was to abuse his influence within FIFA to line his own pockets. To insist that what he did is somehow criminal is to reveal one's ignorance of the law.
Unfortunately the pessimist in me won't let me believe that FIFA will care too much once the talk dies down.

I guess stealing, blackmail and killing are the only 3 illiegal activities then.  As of today corporate fraud is no longer illegal!  Jack is totally innocent and so are the ex-CEOs of Enron, WorldCom, Martha Stewart etc.

I coulda go on and list all the list of transgressions in the TnT civil code if I so desired...and none of them would have said Jack was guilty of anything illegal nor fraudulent.  Enron, WorldCom, Martha Stewart et al...corporate fraud and insider trading...so leh we scratch Martha Stewart and focus on corporate fraud part.  Jack ent part ah de TTFF and even if he was I don't think him selling tickets would have been illegal.  Note again, because some ah allyuh seem slow...I not condoning it, but as black people we quick tuh make ah bunch of noise and not say anything.  Enron and WorldCom are different situations b/c the executives raided the pension plans of employees or hid costs to artificially inflate the value of company stocks while they secretly dumped their shares and/or secured their own golden parachutes.

I really don't see the need to even discuss this angle since it really doesn't apply.

arrow..we know it is illegal and yuh eh ahve tuh be no lawyer tuh know dat.

de man take TTFF tickets and start tuh sell dam.  den when he get ketch with he hand in de cookis jar he say he pay 500,00 TT fuh de rights.

when he get ketch and get ask how he get dat contract and if odder companies get tuh bid..he say he eh using TTFF tickets is from ah European tour company and he pay 556,000euros fuh dem.

Now he eh even selling tickets in he package ah guess de euro company eh selling tickets again.

steups.

And none of what you say contravenes the laws of The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.  In our haste to throw the book at Jack...let's at least focus on charges that could actually stick, minus the theatrics of making Sound absent of Fury.

Shame upon crying shame.  I seriously doubt that anything will come of this as far as FIFA is concerned, unfortunately I don't think that there is anything that Jack did that is illegal.  That being the case FIFA is likely to ignore the matter in hopes that it just dies and withers away.

Anywhere in the world with laws, his unethcial business dealings would have been illegal and investigated.

He has backed down now.  VCheck Simpauls and see that they are just offering packages without tickets.

Why the sudden change?

Maybe FIFA quietly told him to cease and desist?

Or the pressure just got him exposed so he has covered his exposed dealings?

Man come on..the man took the TTFF tickets..mind you he is not even part of the TTFF executive...and was planning to sell them exclusive;y through his company.

The president of the TTFF said he did not know Jack was involved with Simpauls yet Jack arranged all the TTFF travels at a supposedly discounted rate to the TTFF for many years?   Mr. Baptiste also ststed that he did not know that jack was involved with Simpauls..yuh beleive that shit?

If dat eh skulduggery den what is fella?

Dat is crim inal anywhere in de world dat have laws.  maybe T&T so damn backward man could do dat shit and get away all de time..when de f**k it go stop?

The guy is 15, played the ass and got caught.

I do believe some punishment is necessary, for him, as well as the rest of us to know that we all have a responsibility to this site and that there is a level of decorum that we must all adhere to.

However, a lifetime ban is way too harsh.

I dunno all de specifics...but I agree with de spirit of this post.  The guy is young, a mistake was made, he did what many often do...they recoil in shame from their misbegotten handiwork.  He's subsequently had time to think about it, was man enough to admit his error and has seemingly thrown himself at the mercy of the board.  Beyond public shaming, some form of punishment is necessary...but all this ban talk sounds excessive.

Yes  Chutney is something invented in TnT.  As fuh de team nickname...Soca is a marriage of Indian and African rhythyms, and it's a pity that this Anil cacahole ent know his own history to realize dat...shame on some people in here too, since I'm yet to see anybody reference dat.

It was referenced here.

That guy is a bit closed minded, he needs to use his peripherals. He starts off "On a point of intellectual curiosity" oh please! He just wants to stir up some sort of race issue when it's absolutely uncalled for. He should have had some of his Indian and non Indian friends proof-read his contribution before he submitted it.
btw.. I like morvantman's suggestion more

so what go happen to ex-tempo

soca-chutney-extempo-warriors

I eh know bout the close minded claim ...  if he was close minded he would not be asking questions??? soca is trini and trini is soca, plain and simple..that would be my response to his letter...

BTW..chutney listeners, is chutney something invented in TnT?

Yes  Chutney is something invented in TnT.  As fuh de team nickname...Soca is a marriage of Indian and African rhythyms, and it's a pity that this Anil cacahole ent know his own history to realize dat...shame on some people in here too, since I'm yet to see anybody reference dat.  Anil reminds me of some of these black Americans who quick tuh pull race card if rain fall and wet dem and not de white fella standing next tuh dem.  He needs tuh shut his pie-hole and open a book.

I swear some people duz only open dey mouth so as to remember which hole is really dey ass.

cool, really hope that if he says that he is going to give part proceeds to TTFF that he really does it. That's all 

Trini Fan, pleasure doing business wid yuh....one change doh, after giving it more thought I ent sending de money tuh de TTFF, instead I'll try and get some discount youth soccer equipt up here and use mih contacts back in TnT to help get them to grassroots organization...Girl Warrior that is yuh answer right there.

Me ent go lie and tell nobody dat I not trying tuh turn ah profit...but I ent no mercenary, I wouldn' feel right just lining mih pockets with money by profiting off de success of others.

I challenge Izatrini and anybody else who trying to capitalize to give something back to the youths of TnT...leh we try and not let this be ah 'once in ah lifetime' occurrence.  Let's try and develop the youth talent so that there'll be other Stern Johns and Russell Latapy's playing in Europe for years to come.  I'll even be interested in doing a joint venture if Izatrini and other vendors out there want to match my donation.

Large up de Warriors..."Win...win...win"
