Role model
Dear Editor,
I would like to “big up” Chris Gayle who put his personal goals aside to be at his mother’s side in her recent illness. He is an excellent role model and a son to be emulated.
Would you believe that I have heard so-called cricket lovers criticising him for that selfless and loving gesture on the grounds that it had possible ill effects on the performance of the West Indies team? In other words, he should have given cricket priority over loving and caring for the one who nurtured him. Is there any wonder that we are such a brutal society?
