Like most Trinbagonians, I want to
extend congratulations to the Trinidad and Tobago Gymnastics Federation (TTGF)
on its treatment of gymnast Thema Williams. The TTGF’s plan to pull Thema
Williams from the Olympics, in favor of fellow gymnast Marisa Dick is a fine
example of those proud Trinbagonian traditions of nepotism, cronyism, and bad
mind. It also proves that if destroying the hard work of others to fulfill your
own selfish ambitions were an Olympic sport, Trinbagonians would surely dominate.
