Once again football dominates the headlines :: Mmegi Online

The year 2015 was yet another interesting year for Botswana sport. As is always the case, there was the good, the bad, the outrageous, the unexpected and the downright ugly. That is the nature of Botswana sport; unpredictable, but exciting. Some of the so-called small codes came to the forth and started to raise their hands.

Once again Football has dominated the headlines. This has been the most talked about, most written about sport code in 2015. The year has been dominated by the endless squabbles within local football teams. That has resulted in court cases being the order of the day.

What is happening at Township Rollers, Gaborone United, Centre Chiefs and off late Extension Gunners is a major disappointment. The worst of them being the ‘now boring’ spat between some parties at Township Rollers. I’m getting tired of all of them, and if I had the powers, I would rid the team of all of them. In all the sagas, it seems like everyone is looking at their own personal interests, forgetting that they don’t own these teams.
