Letter to the Sports Editor…Dr. George Norton was never a GFA President

Dec 01, 2012 Sports

Dear Sir,
Reference is hereby made to the above caption as it relates to the publication of an article in SN 15.11.12 captioned “GFA invites GFF to meet to resolve impasse” by Iva Wharton. Editor, I must express my profound disappointment publicly, suffice it to say that the GFA executive in its infinite wisdom can attempt to mislead the public with two erroneous statements, in the article. “The constitutional voting rights of the GFA have been an issue throughout the Presidency of Oliver Hinckson, Christopher Matthias, Dr. George Norton, Odinga Lumumba, Troy Mendonca and Vernon Burnett a period in excess of fifteen (15) years”.
In setting the records straight, I must remonstrate that “falsification and misrepresentation of facts’’, will do more harm than good to the already battered image of football, moreover in  the largest association, Georgetown. What good does it serve the mindset of black consciousness? I must reiterate that Dr. George Norton was the Chairman, of an Interim Management Committee, which consisted of Clement Henry, Adepemo Peters, Maurice Cato and I.
Further in February, 1999 Georgetown had voting rights which by my mental calculation would be 13 years, and definitely not in excess of 13 years! So, would the GFA executive do the honorable thing, and offer the relevant apology and retraction!
Lester Sealey
