The GFF’s national embarrassment

Ayn Rand, Russian-American writer and philosopher once stated, “Rationalization is a process of not perceiving reality, but of attempting to make reality fit one’s emotions.” This basically encapsulates the honed skill of making excuses. The word ‘emotions’, simply replaces ‘narrative’, which conveys an intended or fixed position.

This certainly can be localized. The acknowledgment by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), of the issues which currently plague the Lady Jaguars’ programme, fits this narrative perfectly.

The Lady Jaguars, Guyana’s national senior women’s team, on Wednesday, April 7th, dispatched a letter to Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson Jr, highlighting the unequal allocation of resources by the local governing entity to the programme. This is inclusive of non-payment of match fees for international fixtures.
