TRAVELL EDWARDS, Sebastian Camacho, Kori Cupid and wildcard Raheam Borde left Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday to take part in the week-long Digicel/Chelsea Kick Start Academy.

DAVID MUHAMMAD, the Trinidad and Tobago football team manager, has slammed his employees, the TT Football Association (TTFA), for the amount of monies contributed to stricken ex-national footballer Akeem Adams, on behalf of the Heart of a Warrior Fund.

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) has opted not to do further business with a local T-shirt producer, but maintains that neither it nor the Native Spirit company profited from a recent charitable venture in aid of sick T&T footballer Akeem Adams.

Newly appointed TTFA president and Port of Spain Mayor Raymond Tim Kee needs to understand from the first whistle of kick off, the difference in his two portfolios, and not to have one usurp his responsibilities of the other.

Miscommunication, not profiteering.

That’s how the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) has described the issue of its fundraising for ailing footballer Akeem Adams, specifically through the “I Support Akeem!” T-shirt sales, conducted in conjunction with Native Spirit.

NEWLY elected Port-of-Spain Mayor Raymond Tim Kee yesterday said he will not be resigning as Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president as a result of the new political post that he now holds.

Within the last week, there has been great discussion—albeit by only a few sporting media practitioners—about the state of national footballer Akeem Adams. Not least because it would appear that most have forgotten about this ailing son of the soil who is in Hungary, still in a critical condition. Most of the media houses have found other political matters more appetising and some would add, more financially rewarding than to discuss a 22-year-old who has already lost a leg and is still too weak for a heart transplant to be worthy news. It is a damming indictment on the country we live in and all of us as a people. However, the Wired868 editor Lasana Liburd raised the question on the financial support needed for his mum, Ancilla Adams, and brother Akini, who are both in Hungary at the moment, and have to find funds for their everyday needs and life and it appears they both may be there until early 2014 at least.
