Letter to the Sports Editor…The Kaieteur Sports agenda on Juman Yassin

Dec 14, 2016 Sports

Dear Sir,
One need not to be an expert detective to recognise the work of a lynch mob. There are little tell- tale signs that will give it away.  The job being done by the Kaieteur News Sport Department on President of the Guyana Olympic Association K. Juman Yassin is beginning to reveal some of those signs.  Quite frankly I have seen enough in the Kaieteur News about Juman Yassin and the upcoming Guyana Olympic Association elections.
When I say enough, I mean enough on one thing over and over. It is appalling that readers have to be subjected to the same story every time…Yassin must go Yassin must go and sometimes Go Yassin. Is it that the Kaieteur News Sport department has space to waste?  Can’t these reporters give us something with a little more depth? Isn’t there scope for proper journalistic work. Have these same gentlemen asked heads of associations their views on the upcoming elections?  Is there a Sports Editor who gives direction? Can’t he ask that real journalistic work be done and not regurgitate the same old lame story every few days.
The entire scenario has become a turn off and in my humble opinion has failed to gain the traction that the Kaieteur News Sports Department wrongly envisaged it would. Maybe that’s why none of the other dailies have seen it fit to follow suit. To put it simply the work done on Yassin only paints a clear picture of Kaieteur Sport being in the vanguard for his removal. CNN played a similar role against Donald Trump in the recent USA elections and it turned out that while everyone has a right to his own opinion, everyone does not have a right to his own facts.
