I've often been told that when an animal has a young offspring, it quickly goes on the defensive.
It was no surprise therefore that when I read the Nation newspaper online ( 10-01-11) there was an article from the new Board of the BNA which is utterly defensive-minded.
"Back in 2008, there was a lot of disunity within the Barbados Netball Association. . . We had vice-presidents resigning from the board, and I called a meeting of the concerned clubs [and] I got a lot of support there."
Am I reading that in 2008 vice-presidents ( PLURAL) resigned?Maybe they did and that was the reason for the no-show of any . Hmmmm!
In July of 2008 a special meeting of some clubs WAS organized and summoned by the individual quoted above after SHE felt that SOME of them were disgruntled with the way the local competition was being run by the Board of the Barbados Netball Association of which SHE was a member. Hmmmm !
The article also speaks of being made to feel marginalised. How can the coordinator of any national team in ANY sport be made to feel like they are marginalised as well as to feel like they are a "middleman"? Shouldn't the person with such a portfolio be required to work closely with all national teams? Hmmmm!
“I tried working with the team but somehow along the way it seemed as though I was pushed on the wayside. I was not given the opportunity to get very close to the senior team,” explained the one-time Rangers player. “I tried on numerous occasions to have meetings with the senior management, as is the case with any national team coordinator, but I was never, ever given the opportunity to have a meeting.” DOES THIS SOUND TRUE ?? LIES AND MORE LIES !!
“In case there isn’t one major sponsor as in previous years, we’re hoping that at least we can gain some sponsorship per division and have the companies come on board, because obviously the premier sport for women in Barbados [is netball]."
Does this mean as previous as fifteen years ago when according to another blogger the BNA had its last sponsor?
A wise man once said you can get away from a thief but not from a liar ! Hmmm !
The head coach would be an idiot to allow the enemy in the camp to destabilize the progress of the team. The then vice president now president elect was adamant that she would NEVER support my selection as head coach. Then why were you asking for a meeting with the team. What were your motives.
ReplyDeleteI say from the article in the paper this is a disaster already happened. In the next few months reality will set in
