Haiti Upset Over The Treatment Of Its Soccer Players By Jamaica

Haiti is angry over the treatment of their children from their young soccer team by Jamaica authorities after two players became ill.

The Under-17 soccer squad was forced to withdraw from the competition after Jamaican authorities were pressured to send them home because several members became ill with a fever that was later determined to be malaria.

The Haitian team was told that everyone would have to undergo testing. The team members were later placed in quarantine with armed guards.

The Jamaican government confirmed that its ministry of health recommended that the Haitian soccer team leave the island. Jamaica chartered an airplane from Washington, D.C., to Montego Bay to take the players home

For three hours on Saturday in an unusual display of Haitian solidarity to protest what they are calling Jamaica’s discriminatory and humiliating treatment of Haiti’s Under-17 soccer players during a World Cup qualifying tournament in Montego Bay.

 

It's a shame we are all children of earth and by color not merit we choose to segregate by color

 

The Haitians have every right to be upset to be honest. Nobody on earth likes to be discriminated upon real or perceived. Love Is The Answer....
