What is it with sports administrators?
Trinidad & Tobago Newsday
Wednesday, June 20 2007



THE EDITOR: What is it with sports administrators that they can so successfully shoot themselves in the foot and not even blink! In West Indies cricket, in local football, in boxing, in hockey we see the same phenomenon - a total disregard for the fans, whether television or match attendees.

Cricket fans want to see the best cricketers bat, bowl, and field; football fans want to see the best footballers “beats” a man, score goals, and pull off brilliant saves; hockey fans want to see the same; boxing fans want to see good evenly matched boxers defend themselves in the ring.

What the fans do not want and do not pay for is self-centred administrators making bad decisions. Fans are the lifeblood of sport. When will the administrators get it? In cricket what the fans want for now is to see Lara bat! In football what the fans want to see is the best footballers represent us! One concession – out of evil cometh good – new stars may be born!
