The Government has banned the World Championship Team from touring. Will this really help or hinder the situation in Zimbabwe. In addition are we targeting the right people or throwing out the baby with the bath water!

Politics and sports have been intwined many times in the past. The easy and quick examples are the US boycotting the Olympics in Moscow to protest the USSR's involvement in Afghanistan, The USSR boycotting the Olympics in 84 in LA. Hitler using the Olympics to further his propaganda in Berlin in 36'. Athelets and muscians refusing to play sporting events and concerts in S. Africa to protest Apartide. Those are just some of the recent examples, but it has gone on since the first games were playd in ancient Greece.

It won't help or hinder. But it will show the world that we care about the way the people of Zimbabwe are treated by the dictator.
