Some Sports Have All The Luck
WHY it is that sport codes like the NRU and NFA get buried in money from sponsors and government and still they cannot perform? Or they get into disputes with their sponsors but still companies stand in line to sponsor them.
When smaller sport codes that do perform in their fields ask for
assistance, they get blame for not submitting their budgets in
time.
Do not ask for sponsors because they never have money for these
codes.
The management of the big sport codes can be corrupt (like
selling World Cup tickets for personal gain) and bring Namibia's
name and status in disrepute.
They can blame supporters, Government and sponsors for no
cooperation, but still they receive more.
The management do not get fired it looks like that they get
encouraged to exceed the previous misbehaviour.
Sometimes there is gross mismanagement on their part, but still
they get more.
When smaller sport codes behave like them, they will get thrown
out of the country.
The finger of blame, if it is from government, NSC, City of
Windhoek or sponsors can always be pointed back at these sport
codes.
There is always something missing for failed applications for
assistance or sponsors.
It is always the small codes that have to prove themselves year
in and year out.
It does not matter that they adhered to good governance, good
development programs and good participation from WOMEN and men.
It does not matter that they will keep Namibian name and status
intact, or do the country proud because they are small.
When you read about rugby, soccer and athletics it is more
negative than positive coverage, but still the get more.
Why? Under the current management of rugby they have lost the
sponsorship from Windhoek Lager, they about to lose MTC and they
disgrace Namibia with the illegal sale of World Cup tickets (twice
2003, 2007).
We are not allowed to sell tickets for the next World Cup.
With the current soccer management Namibia's rating on the World
Listing is dropping faster and faster.
There were irregularities with the funding of the Soccer
House.
They receive (free) trainers from the assistance of Germany but
still they do not perform.
They are getting a state of the art stadium from City of
Windhoek and FIFA for not performing.
About Athletics you can write a book.
They lost Bank Windhoek Sponsors and much more.
Every Olympics Games there are more officials then athletes
going to the Games for reward from government and it agents for not
performing.
WHY? "Some guys have all the luck.
Some guys have nothing to complain…" in the words of Rod
Stewart .....
