There were only 4 teams. I dont blame the girls. It's a Bahamian thing, we act like we're going to win because we're the Bahamas, it's only after the team returns that we hear all the reasons why they performed at a less than impressive level.
I remember watching a fight with Elisha Obed, and this account is no disrespect to him, I've heard tales that but for his fast lifestyle, he was a super talented boxer (this is why I worry about Jazz, I wonder if he has the grounding to overcome the flash, fame and money or will he be another super talent we talk about with regret). Anyway, this fight with Obed happened on the tail end of his career, he was in his 30's(?) fighting boxers half his age and at that time it was alleged that his vision wasn't good. So the odds were against him. The broadcaster asked the New Jersey boxer about his expectations and the guy spoke a bit about what he knew about Obed and his strategy to win. They then interviewed Obed and Obed said, "well, I don't know anything about this guy but whatever comes I'm ready". He wasn't. And that's our approach to sports.
