Athletes’ funding

They give up their youth and earning capacity at the peak of their earning potential to represent the “Red, White and Black”, but it’s like giving them a pen knife to go to war. I have long suggested that we either have a “Sport Lottery”, or use part of the NLCB lottery to fund our athletes, as in done in other countries.

The funny thing is, sports is always there as a rally to raise us up and give us a reason to cheer, (remember 2006 with the “Soca Warriors), but are we fair to them or just “bandwaggonists? So please, let’s treat them right.
