We see only two colors when it comes to national pride, Green and Gold

Dear SAFA, SARU, Minister of Sport and everyone else involved in this sports debacle, please stop fucking the fans. You think banning our federations from hosting major sports events punishes them, it doesn't. It punishes us, the loyal supporters. The ones who buy the jerseys, watch the matches, stand for the anthems and wear our national colors with pride. I don't support the Springboks because they are "white", I support them because the don the national colors. I have more Bafana jerseys than Springbok jerseys - I don't care about the racial make up of our national sides. I just want the best team on the field. The problem is government AND all the sports bodies have been lining their pockets for 22 years of democracy instead of investing in grassroots sport. If SARU had spent more of the hundreds of millions of rands profit they make every year on more rugby pitches in townships, if CSA had spent more of their profit on cricket pitches in previously disadvantaged schools, this problem wouldn't be here 22 years later and government should have focused on that. Government has been so busy staring at the senior national side with their squint beady eye, they forgot what what transformation really is. It's not about making one or two black players Springboks or Proteas, it's about allowing millions of people to be inspired by a national team that wins and represents it's country with pride. I am sure every Protea fan or Springbok fan would agree, I would support 15 black players in Springbok jerseys if they were the best 15 players in the country. I would support 11 black cricketers if they were the best 11. I stood when Bavuma got his test 100. I cheered Rabada when he destroyed the English attack, I yell "Beeeaaaasssssstttt!!!" Whenever Tendai gets the ball. It's not about color for us as supporters, it's about national pride. I support change and I support development, but do it at junior level, or provincial level. But in the end, don't punish us, the fans, who only see two colors, green and gold. Don't punish us who sing the national anthem as loudly when Bafana play, as we do when the proteas play.
