Dr Irvin
Khoza has managed to successfully disrespect and undermine the intelligence of
South African football fans.
He claims
that the reason our football season was changed to August/May in '96 was because
back then we had most players internationally, that is utter gobbledygook, it
is only now that those numbers have increased.
It is not
rocket science to know that we just adopted everything that is English, we just
idolise those guys.
First, the
'Premier Soccer League' is derived out of 'English Premier League'.
Second, our
lion logo is derived form the English lion.
Third, the
football season was to be strictly in line with the English season and we all
know that South Africa is a former British colony, and like any other African
country, we are bound to adopt cultures of our colonial masters, the common use
of the queen's language being a perfect example.
Anyway, as
per Dr Khoza, in 2014 we are going back to normal, February/November... this
move has more positives, to of which been that we will have only one break at the
end of the season and thus been in line with all CAF affiliates, our teams will
get to start the continental championships on equal footing with our
counterparts.
The
negative been that, we would have to tolerate the cold months of June and July,
while our pitches tend to be dry and bumpy during this period... again, this
might be seen as a moral victory for CAF as they didn’t bow down to South Africa's
demands to structure their season as per major Euro countries and South Africa!
