Nearly all professional sports are corrupt.

Correct, only the uneducated actually believes these sports are real. Just look at the defeat Brazil got last year for a perfect example of how everything is already set and planned behind closed doors.
The whole reason the sports entertainment industry is successful is because its all staged and well scripted. But try telling that to the mass uneducated PNM supporters.

Seems legit. 15bn$ to get humiliated and use the stadiums as bus parking lots now seems like a steal of a deal to me.

Good afternoon sir.
I would like to point out that as a moderator, you do not have the right to engage in political debates or for the very least you are not allowed to take sides, which you have clearly been doing. This is no different than the police service saying they are pro PNM.
What you are doing here is a great disservice to both this website and our country.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
How am I to know that you won't ban me for speaking negatively about the PNM?
J Smith.
Senator in online attack on 'Express', writer

'inappropriate' posts: Dr Kriyaan Singh makes his contribution during the Senate sitting on Tuesday. —Photo: CURTIS CHASE
Temporary Independent Senator Dr Kriyaan Singh has launched an assault via his Facebook page against the Express and the writer of an article about him which appeared in Tuesday's edition, headlined: “Senator's FB post called into question”.
The article focused on a Facebook comment made by Singh on May 28, which stated: “Whatever Gra Puja the PM do to get Jack Warner extradition request I want to do that! If only they could get the THA to extradite Rowley as well.”
Singh, who has been frequently appointed whenever vacancies arise on the Independent bench of the Senate, was questioned about the “inappropriateness” of the comment by a couple of people on his Facebook thread.
He replied he could be as “inappropriate as I want on my own Facebook”.
The Express attempted to call Singh, without success, and then sent a text message to him, seeking a comment before the publication of Tuesday's article.
But since the publication of the article, Singh, clearly unhappy about it, has made several posts targeting the Express and its writer.
On Wednesday, he stated on his Facebook page:
“As I am not an illustrious Express reporter like Ria Taitt, I don't have a plethora of research options other than Google and Facebook. But guess what I found out about the 'unbiased' political reporter. Anybody recognise the lady in the middle of the second picture. Hmmmmmm. While your motivation is politically based, my motivation is people based.”
Accompanying this statement were two photos, side by side. One photo was a profile picture of me and my sister. The other photo was of an unknown woman (“the lady in the middle” referred to by Singh) wearing what appears to be a red People's National Movement (PNM) jersey, standing next to a man, also in a red shirt.
Singh quite erroneously suggested I was the woman in question in the red jersey.
A short four hours earlier, Singh posted this comment: “Dear Trinidad Express Newspaper and Ria Taitt. Today when I woke up I noticed my left testicle was hanging a fraction lower than my right. Please write a story on how my progeny would be right wing biased. Also I don't wear underwear and so would favour the swing vote. I have also taken several front page worthy photos of it which I think would serve to increase your sales.”
Even more eyebrow-raising was this post and its accompanying YouTube link: “Dear Express Newspaper and Ria Taitt, you can replace your names with Michael Cole.”
The YouTube link featured actor and former wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, speaking about shining up something “real nice” and sticking it in a certain part of Michael Cole's anatomy. This post was subsequently deleted.
Another comment which had been posted one hour before that one, and which was also deleted, stated: “If you spit on carbide and trying to watch it, expect to get your eyebrows burnt off in the explosion.”
Singh also mused on the “extinction of the news reporter” in another post, stating: “In light of my recent fame due to an Express article, it has made me realise that the issue here is simple: 'The extinction of the news reporter by social media'.”
He went on to say because of technology, cameras and social media platforms, every individual had the potential to be a “news reporter”, thereby creating “a certain amount of fear and regret in the minds of those who choose the career of journalism”.
In view of this, “reporters seek for a story filled with controversy”.
Singh had also complained since his comment had been made on Facebook, the Express ought to have used that medium to contact him.
Yesterday, the Express, via Messenger, asked Singh whether his Facebook account had been hacked. He replied it was not. He then offered several responses via Messenger to the Express.
In response to Tuesday's Express article, Singh sent a comment which he had posted on Tuesday, in which he had stated he did not support any political party, and anyone who went through his posts would know that.
“In fact, if they go back through every one of my Facebook posts, they will find the one where I stated that: In Trinidad you have to vote based on which party you feel thieving less. And that's my sense of humour!”
He said he was a vet in a wheelchair living in Trinidad and Tobago and trying to survive as independently as he can.
“My Facebook page is mine, not the people of Trinidad and Tobago, nor the Express Newspaper,” he stated.
“I post half-naked pictures of myself as well, does that mean I am not fit to be a senator? I post sexual innuendos that some may find inappropriate, does that mean that I am not fit to be a senator?
“I was chosen because of my resilience in being who I am and not putting up a false front,” he said.
He said if the Express would like to print a real story about Dr Kriyaan Singh, he would suggest it contacts him “if you want to know all the dirt on me”.
“If you want to know my diet and bowel routine, I can share that too because it is obvious that is your type of news story,” he stated via Messenger.
Singh said he was amazed the Express never published stories about all the people whose lives he had inspired, or for whom he bought groceries, beds, walkers, commodes, from his temporary Senator salary and his personal veterinary earnings.
He suggested this reporter had “sinister” motives for writing the story.
In a subsequent post, he also wondered whether political reporters were aware that Independent senators, while having no political affiliation, had the right to vote on election day.
