“Honestly guys, if the support system don’t change, my kids not running for Jamaica. Sorry to say that, it’s just facts, you know what I mean? My wife is Canadian and Ghanaian so there are options,” well to put that into context, these words came from Asafa Powell, who have been one of the poster boys of Jamaican sprinting, alongside Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake. But the comment didn’t end up well with the people and he found himself in raging controversy.

He’s sharing his thoughts about what he wants for his children’s future and that’s based on his lived experiences……All of us as parents, all of us want better for our children. Based on our own lives want our kids to do better and to have better opportunities. Everyone.”
