If you are one of those that don't understand why sports journos and people in the know keep asking for the administration of sport to change, here is a good example.
Why is it that when it comes to individual sports, South Africa perform so well. For a little contry on the south of Africa, we have 2 golfers in the top 10. We have 4 of the fastest swimmers in the world. We even have someone who will get into the top 10 in the Skeleton at the Winter Olympics in Turin next week.
OK, our cricket team is ranked 3rd in ODI's but how many countries take part? It's all relative. As for rugby and soccer, how sad.
Administrators are like your bosses. The people you work for. If you feel as if they don't know what they are doing, how do you feel? If you see them going on lavish trips, driving cool cars and living large while you take home R2000 a month, how would you feel? If the admin staff are forever going to court cases to hold on to power, how would you perform at work?
You see it at Manchester United, you see it at Kaizer Chiefs and you see it at SAFA. Maybe we should enter 11 individuals into the next world cup in 2010???
