Persecution, marginalisation and discrimination. All of the above possess a certain synonymity and can be used to illustrate a narrative.
In Guyana, the aforementioned trio is culturally endemic and unfortunately, sport is not spared from such an unwanted affliction. To speak out against or question the status quo, as is one’s own fundamental as well as ethical right, is tantamount to insubordination.
But it seems normal in Guyana for such acts to be accepted and even normalised. After all, Guyana is a backwater kingdom, a ‘Banana Republic’ governed by suits, whose self-importance is as misguided as their intellectual upbringing and authenticity. Sport and football to be specific, is not immune to the machinations of such ‘geniuses’.
