Mugabe holds the World

I have always believed that sport and politics should not cross each other. Sport is not a vehicle for political ideals. Each sport is represented by a national and international body. It is them who should lead their respective sports in international affairs. Sport must not be influences by governments or lobby groups over political situations. Ultimately the ticket paying public suffer.

The World Cup Trophy journeys around Africa on its way to South Africa. I’m sure Fifa have good intentioned plans to have it visit schools and lesser known football clubs. But what I saw this morning has angered me and left me despising Fifa even more.The World Cup Trophy has arrived in Zimbabwe and has been lifted by the hands of Mugabe. Held high in celebration by a man who has crippled his nation and his people.

I’m sorry but Fifa have got it seriously wrong here. Many great men have lifted the World Cup Trophy. Men who have fought out of poverty and slumps, such slumps created by leaders like Mugabe. These men have all held the Trophy with pride for their nation and its people.

Now Fifa are very happy for Mugabe a reckless president who has self progressed at the expense of his people. A man who shows no pride or remorse for his nation or suffering people. We have had uproar over a handball, yet I’m sure this show casing of a political monster will go unnoticed. The World Cup Trophy could have easily gone to Zimbabwe without Mugabe touching it. Without the need to give him a world audience of press to see him lift the Trophy like a hero, to me this is disgusting.
