Not sure why everything is against them. Politics…
How the performed in those clubs? success or failure?
I think the governance should check their performance rather than being as MR’s sons.
I don’t know how, if anyone knows post here pls.
Well, you have to check how these individuals get the captaincy including captaincy of the SL Rugby team. In Yoshitha’s case, his papa who is the commander of the armed forces decommissioned him after getting defeated at presidential elections.
We know that the Mithree(මෛත්රී) =friendliness & Hate(වෛරය) = revenge & good governance = යහපාලනය. That’s all we know.
In overall I feel all these are attached to political revenge.
Its not the right thing to do for any game. Most of foreign players are leaving due to this.
In SL there’s only one sports channel, and new government targeted with giant tax for them. So is this not a political revenge?
Sad to see, I’m still not sure where our country is heading to.
Country might heading again into western slavery.
