Swallows' fairy-tale season a bright spot

May 24, 2012 | Sello Rabothata | 26 comments

SO MUCH has happened within the football fraternity lately that one should be excused for feeling like a mosquito in a nudist camp.

BUSINESS FIRST THEN PLEASURE, IT DOESNT MAKE BUSINESS SENSE SUPPORTING AND SPONSORING TEAMS THAT DONT DELIVER YOUR INVESTMENT. BUSINESS 101

Well I'm a Bucs card carrying member, but I think SuperSport guys are having a point. Injecting millions of money in 2 teams won't help improving our standard of socca here in SA e.g Bafana Bafana performance. Imagine a situation were competion is btwn the 2 teams jst bcz dey are able 2 loot all de talents from other teams bcz of enough resorces (money) dey hav. We don't wish 2 c wat is happing in Spain where competition is btwn 2 teams n de rest jst add numbers.

Well I'm not saying Chiefs n Bucs shud be disadvantaged bcoz of other teams no..... but companies shouldn't be encouraged 2 do dumping on 2 teams out of 16. And who's job is dat (improving PSL)? Answer: The PSL mngt.
Who's PSL mngt??
Answer: The very same guys who money is being pumped into their teams.

We need strong competition in PSL, n it cnt be btwn 2 teams. Strong league means all team team are strong enough n well resourced to take one other head-on. Not btwn fringe players and their Heros/role models.

LET NOT BE BIAS AND JUDGEMENTAL, Guvin Hunt n Ferraira are having a points. Companies shud b encouranged to invest in sports. We cnt afford to have companies who doesn't give back to community/ de needy.

What are CellC, Virgin Mobile, Sandard Bank, FNB, minning sector and other business doing 2 de community apart from giving jobs (jst bcz dey cnt operate without labour)?

Guys this is all about business and publicity. Who wants to waste their money by sponsiring teams like Cosmos or Santos where they played in an empty stadium? You always want to see returs on your investments. Think of Carling Black Label Cup and see which teams participate there... yet we have 16 teams in the PSL. Black Label made millions out of that competition and the sad part is that of all teams in the PSL, only two teams always benefit. Soccer has now been commercialised.

I have seen that story at 3rd-Degree at e-tv on Tuesday at 21H30. The show was so disgusting cause they r living in 4 rooms houses, but wearing and tearing clothes their parents bought just for fun. Izikhothane se foot maan, cause others even commited suicides cause their parents can't afford those expensive clothes.

Did you see the other one (Thabang), they live in a shack with her mother and her mother is owing the burial society because of this boy, she is working overtimes at work to satisfy her rotten something and again the very same skhothanes are the one ba ropang batho ko kasi.

This spoilt brats are troubling the poor parents. Why on earth can U need expensive clothes whilst U see that ur parents r suffering? I just have the thought that they also threatened their parents if they can choose not to buy those clothes for them. About robbing ppl of their belongings, that is a habit for them.

Nna I wont allow ngwana oo ke motsetseng a tlo ntaola ka gaka. You know there is a say in Sesotho bare Letsopa o le bopa le sale metsi coz if le ba dry le tlo thubeha. You teach your child at an early stage that mama doesn't like 1 2 3 and want 2 4 6. We must teach our children to share, appreciate and further more responsibility. Nna when I was doing grade 6 I was selling sweets at school, cause my mom didnt want me to bother her with some things. Instead of giving me money to buy those things she gave me packets of sweets to sell them and use profit to buy whatever I want or need.
