Stanford 20/20 cricket for $20m

I will always uphold the peoples right to free speech, but sometimes certain individuals should think before they utter a word!

Take for instance the negative comments from certain individuals about why the Stanford 20/20 for $20 million should be included in the country's independence celebrations!!

Not only has Sir Allen Stanford revived interest among the Caribbean islands through his cricket tournament, but it has also enabled talent that would not have come to the fore thru the West Indies Cricket team be actively pursued!

But say we forget that particular aspect, what about the business it generates with people coming into Antigua spending their money on taxis, accommodation, restaurants and souvenirs! With Big brother America coming to grips with economic recession shouldn't we be thankful that the country is getting some hard foreign exchange that will eventually help government improve the services they continually cry need to be improved?

Some may argue that it is not much , but in my book every little in these times of rising costs helps.

So instead of crying foul especially whenever the Stanford name is mentioned, think about how you can also cash in!
