5 UGLIEST SPORTS GAMES

I tuned on my television everyday to see a new type of sports been played. To my amazement, all these so-called sports have their stadia full to capacity. Sometimes I wonder if the organizers do not charge gate proceeds at every event. Well, to cut the long story short, I have listed my ugliest sports.
1. American Football
The American corrupted idea of British Football. My colleagues referred to it as ‘the Animal game’. The American football is a sport played between two teams of eleven with the objective of scoring points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone. It sounds so easy but the on the field of play, its looks nasty. All I can see is mature men misbehaving on the field in search of a ball. The American football happens to the only game where players wore protective materials to prevent injuries.
2. Baseball
Baseball, expert term is as Bat- and -Ball game. But I call it the hit-and-run game. Scores are generated with the number of runs you take. This ugly game cannot be played in the bedroom because one must need some kind of protective guard.
3. Boxing
The so-call noble acts of protection-can ruin your live forever…trust me. If you doubt it ask the legendary Mohammed Ali. If it's wrong to allow two animals to tear into each other for people's amusement, it surely is equally contemptible to expect humans to pummel each other as well-Ishan Tharoor.
Why should you punch the face of your colleague just to score points? This is one of the few sports organizers can’t arrange for a ‘friendly’.
4. Bullfighting
The bloody sport is referred to as spectacle and a fine art. The bulls matadors are sometimes get kill to the amazement of the crowd. Since the dawn of civilization, human beings have entertained themselves by making animals fight. The fact that people still like to pit dogs and cocks against each other is proof of man's sadistic streak.- Ishan Tharoor.

5. Wrestling
The less you talk about it the better. Professional Wrestling refers in practice to "sports entertainment", where matches are 'worked' to an arranged outcome, as a result of staged combat. My mom cannot stand with the look at these professional wrestlers. No wonder they caution the people not practice what they see on the screen.

Ghana lacks visionary direction - Economist

An Economist at the Economics Department of the University of Ghana, Dr. Baah Boateng, has stated that the country lacks visionary direction especially in the area of policies which has resulted in the increasing cases of poverty today.
Dr Boateng says poverty levels in Ghana will continue to rise if the government does not put the necessary measures in place to deal with the issue permanently.
He was speaking on Dwaso Nsem on Adom FM on Tuesday in reaction to a World Bank report that 30 per cent of the country’s population is poor in spite of several years of rapid development.
Dr Boateng said reducing poverty is a nation-wide effort which should not be left alone for the government alone to tackle but suggested that government must learn from First and Second World economies on how they strategized to reduce poverty and follow those steps.
Also commenting on the same topic, the Member of Parliament for Dormaa West, Mr. Kwaku Agyeman Manu blamed the government for neglecting the poverty eradication programmes initiated by the erstwhile NPP administration.
The Chartered Accountant said the Kufour-led administration reduced the poverty index from 38 to 28 per cent in 2008 showing a10 per cent reduction.
He accused President Mills’ administration of abandoning the proposed model of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) when it should have been followed so that the country will achieve its goals on poverty.
