the anthem should play at all sporting events... every manning cup, dacosta cup, premier league, cricket, netball, track & field., etc., not just international events... it should be made madatory... we need more national pride and discipline...
i remember going to functions as a youth with my grandmother, and when the anthem is about to be played my granny taught me to put my right hand over the left side of my chest... my granny teach me that... and mi watch all the men taking their hats off and putting it over the left side of their chest... a wonder if the youth nowadays a learn dem tings deh from dem parents or grandparents...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'Comment

As yuh say dat, I recall going to the England vs Colombia game. The anthems of both nations were played and the game started, only to find out the Acting Gov. at the time was upset that the American anthem wasn't played. 3 anthems?Originally posted by Mosiah View Post"Jamaica's future reflects its past, having attained only one per cent annual growth over 30 years whilst neighbours have grown at five per cent."

There is a South Asian country whose anthem is a minute plus long... Vietnam I think...maybe they should be ranked in the top three on the FIFA list..dont it?Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.
