Oba's Frustrated and Hurt

OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALLIST and champion sprinter Obadele Thompson is frustrated and hurt. He is frustrated by the failure of Government to enable him to share his dream of helping young Barbadian athletes and hurt by the broken promises....."If it's not cricket, no one cares. Why don't they just set up a ministry of cricket and let someone deal with that and leave the rest of sports to get the attention they deserve," he said....
"They want you to perform like the best in the world, and at the same time, don't want to support you. It is ridiculous." Source: www.nationnews.com

Ahh yes.. a truer word has never been spoken... well, I'm sure one has but that's not the point. Poor poor Oba.. he actually BELIEVED that his appointment as "Ambassador/Envoy for the Youth of Barbados" would translate into something useful and pratical. It's like having 2 kids, one named Cricket and the other named Atros (All The Rest Of Sports). Cricket is loved by everyone, he used to be great but as of late is just a lame has been. Although he is on drugs, got wutless as ever and reaaal lazy, Cricket gets a fat allowance, a flashy sports car, and got family members like Aunt Digicel and Uncle Cable & Wireless fighting over who gine buy clothes for him. The younger Atros is doing great at school, excels in sports, has joined the key club and can whistle the national anthem backwards. But Atros can't even get a pair of slippers to put on and an a saddle for his old rusty bicycle. Of course if this continues, Cricket will just do as he likes since, if rain fall or sun shine, the spotlight will always be on him.. he might even wreck the car and wait for daddy Owen to give him a new one. Atros will eventually schupes hard since none of his efforts are being appreciated or assisted (especially in light of Cricket's over indulgence) ... and he will probably jump off the Treasury building and land on top of a white nissan taxi. Cuh dear, don't do de boy so... give Atros lil attention and appreciation nuh? nuh?
