    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

      I agree. I don't understand this mentality. Jamaican companies are huge at Penn and Jamaica is more than represented. The DJ is dancehall music, Jamaican good is all over the place and Grace's logo is large and plentiful as if they are the title sponsors.

      So, not sure why we think we deserve some of the profits just because...

        Jamaican schools get anything from Boys Champs and Gibson Relays? Maybe we should start there.

            Yes Florida Gator Relays is the one I was thinking about too. Been going on for a very long time , some girls teams from Morant Bay went there in the late 70s/early 80s.

                what get that from Boys champs too? Everybody a sell broadcast and a advertise a champs now.

                If we want to set standards for others, let us set if for ourselves first then we can convince them to do a thing.

                      all of those people?

                      Break it down for me then, what claim would each have to proceeds from Penn? I agree dem probably could make a money (fundraisers etc) but from Penn itself what would be the nature of their claim?

                        Agree but if they think they can, why not start with getting even a little from ISSA especially for the poorer schools that they don't want people to transfer from? Then they maybe could convince Penn into doing a worthy cause at least for some of the schools.

                          Penn owns it the way ISSA owns champs and so Penn is trying to sell its product to make more money, not to give hand-outs.

                            And I assume if the cause was well planned Penn wouldn't mind give a few thousands and been pictured with a worthy cause in Jamaican athletics.

                            We need to look to ourselves before looking to others. Build from within first. We keep on looking at people's million and billions.

                              I certainly agree with that. but Penn's first priority is Penn.

                                Yuh ever go a di Bank of Jamaica building? On the main floor, there is a huge sculpture of an outstretched hand.

                                Something tells me it was designed or commissioned by the same founding father who gave us the meaning of the black in our flag.
