The order does not bother me. The fact is all 3 sports should get their just amount of money depending on set principles devise by the government. As far as I am concern, "More Sports means Less Mischief". This topic of which sports better than the other does have a racial component to it. Cricket might be on top because it is reaching it's full potential in that every race plays the game at a high level. In the other sports that is not the case. They have not reach their full potential until we see what the "other race" has to offer. All other sports are underepresented when it comes to East Indians. How come and why? What is being done to rectify this problem. How do we know there is not an Indian girl who can do the hurdles and probably win a medal? all yuh figure that out.

Quags,
              You laughing. just think about it. In TF, football, swimming?, rugby, basketball, netball, cycling, field hockey?  Who is it that mostly  play these sports. Half the population don't partiicpate for whatever reasons. Hence TT will never fulfill it's true potential.

Deeks is a cultural think breds,like ah say the ships done sail.If Eric Williams had a bit of communist in him ,well then way back in the sixties ,all these things would have already be in place .And no leader since ever institute any athlete breeding programs so... here we are ..{off topic point}...say like the Chinese ,if the PR of China invented stickfighting like we did ,it would have been on display infront the Queen and Kings ,Indians woulda been good at that .But in Trini it still in the bush.
Town indians like there kids in academics hopefully and country indians ,teach there kids what they know ,which is cricket .
There are no sport safety nets to catch wayward kids  
Oh BTW indians wou;ld be good in Long Distance T F

article link..http://guardian.co.tt/sports/other-sports/2010/05/18/sport-and-democratic-process

Not fully related to this thread but still an interesting read..I thought of this thread when I read this below quote from the article

Should overall funding for sport be maintained and increased? Should funding be spent in accordance with an agreed national policy vision and framework and changing demographics? Is transparency, accountability and equity non negotiable policy considerations? With the appropriate checks and balances in place, construction to provide multi-purpose sports facilities and repairs to existing facilities are as much a priority as hospitals, police stations and schools. There ought to be a commitment to ensuring that physical education is a mandatory activity in every school in the country. In the absence of policy statements and commitments the danger is always that promises will not be kept

No one can force a horsee to drink water as the proverb goes. But there should be a whole lot of encouragement.

Any thoughts on support for the 'CALYPSO WARRIORS?'



Test Rugby: Trinidad and Tobago v Brazil
18.11.2008
Trinidad and Tobago v Brazil in Sao Paulo (WCQ America R2, Playoff 2nd Leg)

Preview
The Calypso Warriors, the name given to the rugby team from Trinidad and Tobago have a huge task ahead of them in Brazil on Saturday. Defeated 31-8 by the Brazilians in the first leg in Port of Spain last Saturday, the Trinidadians have to win by more than 23 points to progress to the next stage. A number of factors are against this happening.

Firstly, winning away in Brazil was always going to be the more difficult leg for the Caribbean team. Secondly, their flight to Brazil was disjointed, with half the team flying direct to Brazil, the other having to fly via Caracus in Venezuela arriving a day later. Passport problems were said to be the cause. Thirdly, the nature and size of Brazil's win will be a major psychological hurdle for the men from Trinidad to overcome.

On the bright side is the return to the Caribean side of 38 year old veteran flyhalf Brendan O'Farrell.

GWC Rugby Rankings: World Table-Brazil 29th, Trinidad and Tobago 30th.
Both these teams qualify for the World Table as they are in different zones in the rugby world. Brazil is affiliated to CONSUR whilst the Caribbean side is with NAWIRA.

Prediction: Rugby is a funny game at any level and upsets can always occur. It is difficult not to see an easy Brazilian win. Brazil by 40 points.

Alberta you does take een or what?  Unless my eyes deceiving me this article over a year and a half old

[Controversial]

right now, most attention should be focused to cricket, most of the talented youths are coming out of that youth program.

football in tt is dead right now and the only way it wil come back is if we change our management staff. that wont be happening anytime soon, unless jw have a change of heart and commits the resources to do so.
