THE EDITOR: Angus Eve has begged for amendments to immigration laws to widen the pool of footballing talent to represent TT since the beginning of his tenure. Dwight Yorke followed up during a fete match at the Hasely Crawford Stadium a couple of weeks ago.
Only a player born overseas whose parents are Trinidadian/Tobagonian can represent the red, white and black. Extending that privilege to players with grandparents will widen the selection diaspora and strengthen internal competition.
What is the keepback, Minister Fitzgerald Hinds, and by extension the Cabinet?
I get the impression that the football community isn’t a priority for the current administration. I reckon sport in general is not important to the PNM because it is sure its base supporters can wait, regardless of the impact of PNM policies and the problems facing the nation.
With the type of urgency from this Government shown on a daily basis, we will be looking towards qualifying for the 2030 World Cup, because all and sundry would still be complaining then.
