    I wonder how much money we are earning from sports?

    The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.

        Low hanging fruit but with great potential.. Infrastructure is key though.
        My grandfather sold oranges to send my mother to college.....if done properly it can have spinoff effect

                About time because Rboyz played for 90 mins in the GC final in front of millions
                around the world. With commentators keep saying Ja for 1hour 30 mins. Surely it must ring a bell to viewers.

                Yet the JFF can't get sponsorship to pay their coach. Reggaeton /Ja? Red stripe could have embarked on a penetration into the central american market.
                I guess they must be waiting for another GC final. Well that time the boyz abroad may just open their purse

                  The simple question is...what is the role of government?

                  Government operating in business is failure waiting time happen. Most governments are inefficient......

                  Your grandfather succeed because he pander to no one but himself and family. He cared about efficiency. He was a private enterprise.

                  The sports proposal is one for private enterprise(s).

                    Government has a role. Not to run it but to facilitate e.g. The TEF can and should help with the sponsorship of international sporting events, the JTB likewise but also play a role in arranging for concessionary rates for teams and supporters for international events, various ministries to assist with importing materials and expertise to put in infrastructure and so on and so on.


                    The city's industry was not separate and apart from the ministry of agriculture which provided the framework for the sale of oranges

                      No it did not. Farmers are patient persons it was not ONE CROP you ass! It was several crops over several years with careful planning and management of that income for the specific purpose LONG IN ADVANCE of it being needed. TWIT!

                        you soon hear say a hand out those.

                        There is also another level which haven't even talk bout which is a huge money earner. Youth sports. One of Disney's major plank. Youth coming, parents have to COME too.

                          Sports tourism is one thing. Giving high schools synthetic tracks is quite another.
