GHANA SPORTS: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WORSE
Over time Ghana sports has depreciated in quality with the attitudes exhibited towards it over the past couple of five or so years. This many blame on the institutions overseeing the field with the view that they have lost control and have always been caught ball-watching in the discharge of their duties.
I remember when growing up as a kid in the early 2000s and mid 2000s where sporting activities were delight to watch even when busy with extra pressing activities but so I cannot be said in this time of technological advancement where sports could be on rampage for viewership yet this is the time where the direct opposite is occurring at a highest momentum without brakes to haul it.
Sports in those days were the backbone of many schools. It gives them the bragging right over their arch rival but these days being on top of sports is nothing to write home about making the activity a useless one.
At the basic and secondary school level various field and track events were been organized to promote and generate talents who took up the mantle of sports in the country to the highest level which gave the country many accolades and financial benefits. In Ghana, Michael Essien, the Bison was spotted in his days with St. Augustine College who rose through the highest level of soccer to give Ghana a name in the world, Frederick Adongo rose to be be Ghana's 3000m runner in the United States in 1998 Olympic Games .
Today, sports activities, though being organized are not necessarily for talents hunt but for formality sake and this is affecting the sporting activity in Ghana which not checked will lead to reduction of revenues and dependency on loans and foreign aids.
Ghana needs to invest more in sports in a way to disperse the analogy that sports is for the people with low IQ.
