It seems they are part and parcel of our and every sporting nation, these people or parasites as I prefer to call them, have become almost as famous as top sportsmen. Unfortunately its usually for the wrong reasons. Why would you want to hear about them anyway ?
I have heard stories about our administrators in Beijing. The group of absolutely useless no good bunch of ( OK I'll stop there ) booked themselves, a full group of 30, into the same hotel which our beloved George W Bush was staying in. Now according to the news source one administrators room cost the same as South Africa's entire Olympic team kit. Now I know our kit wasn't great, pretty much kuk with green crocs thrown in, but it must have cost something.
Now what did those admin people do the entire time they were inn Beijing, report on how shit we were doing. Compile lists of medal winners ?
I read on our mountain bikers blog, Burry Stander, about his Olympics and how he arrived late and had to organise himself. As an athlete he never received any help from the administrators leading up to the games either. He is lucky enough to train with his pro team who pay for him to do everything. What if he wasn't part of a team ? God help me, I'm going nuts here.
Our sports are unfortunately going through one small crisis at the moment. Where are the administrators ? No where. The players bear the brunt, or in rugby's sake and quiet rightly so, our coach PDV. I have been thinking about this subject lately and wondering about a few things. Sure we cant hang onto everyone in the money talks world of sports, but the quota systems are gradually weathering away the foundations of our sports. Its a bit like being the best player in your small dorp school and then you go to University and you are suddenly exposed to a group of players who are just as good as you if not better than the dorpie. What I'm trying to say is, good players are made to look very good in our domestic leagues, but when they step into the big wide world of international sports they are ruthlessly exposed. Its heart breaking for the player and unfortunately the Nation shares the pain.
Finally lets get back to those admin twits, its been some time since we were awarded the World Cup. Bafana continues to be the laughing stock of the soccer world. Our domestic league, The PSL is without doubt a perfect example of administrators abusing a sport. How many times do Chiefs play Pirates a season ? Imagine if Manchester United and Chelsea played each other on half as many occasions, small riots. The PSL is crap football played week in and week out, why don't other quality players from Africa come to play here, because they see it as an inferior place to play football. No wonder we cant produce world class players. The World Cup saga has bumbled from million dollar contracts for coaches and players who are clearly not good enough. But why did we wake up so late, Administrators, once again the name pops up. One hopes heads will roll and all those fat cats who are more interested in making money out of the Cup than delivering a half decent team will be strung up, but I somehow doubt it. Whats happened to our Olympic administrators, nothing as yet.
Its not their problem is it, they're Administrators.
