Another one has even dared to say that netballers are fickle-minded, hate being being seen as challengers to authority and would allow anything to happen just so they can play the game.
With that being said,maybe the time is right for ALL netballers to openly question the goings on within the Barbados Netball Association and demand some answers.
Doesn't anybody want to know why the Treasurer has suddenly resigned less than a year into her taking up the position and just a few months after she was very vocal at the Special Meeting summoned by the clubs? Hmmmmm!
Doesn't anybody want to know why one of the senior board members think that the former power trio ( President,Secretary and Treasurer) in the last Administration should be at the helm of the Association? Hmmmm!
Doesn't anybody want to know why there is a persistent rumour within netball that another board member is contemplating resigning before December 13th? Hmmmm !
Doesn't anybody want to know why at the Special Meeting mentioned above when a former national player openly criticised and scandalised the senior national team, NONE of the board members asked her to apologise AFTER the then coach had informed them that they should? Hmmmm !
Why is it that the ENTIRE delegation from Barbados who were in Singapore for the 2011 World Netball Championships,show such a disinterest in the national team that they would not support them?
In an interview with the former coach Alwyn Babb which was carried in the Midweek Nation ( November 24) , he stated,"The day we had a crucial match against Fiji- at that time they were the No.7 in the world- we had only two Barbadian supporters,Octavia Gibson and Daisy Browne. All the other official members of the Barbadian contingent did not attend that match and we lost that game by one goal.At that point we had now moved to No.9."
Why were these people there in the first place if they didn't have the team at heart and the country by extension?
The lack of support was even more glaring when the said senior team returned to Barbados and no one from the Barbados Netball Association met the team on their arrival. Ironically the same delegation including the President had also returned to Barbados on the same flight. Hmmmm!!
What's equally sad is that the Barbados Netball Association has not even sent a simple THANK YOU note to Miss Lydia Bishop for all her years of representing Barbados.
How moronic can that be!!! Hmmmm !
It's about time we had some answers.
Time for heads to Roll.
