Better we guide them; than make excuses for them

The past week and a half have been rather tumultuous for the National team. There have been two incidents that have gotten the nation talking and as is always the case, there are four sides to this latest episode.

Everytime they go off the rails, they know we will make excuses for them and justify their bad behaviour with the usual; ‘they are not well taken care off’, ‘They are paid late’, ‘Their allowances are too little’, ‘the BFA this and that’, and all that other hogwash we always come up with to defend them and shift the blame elsewhere.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
