Pineridge MP Ginger Moxey and Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA) President Drumeco Archer should not be raked over the coals by the people of Nassau for choosing Freeport as host for the North American Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association event over the weekend. Both were attempting to give Freeport a much needed economic shot in the arm. I am sensing that the vitriolic pushback coming out of Nassau is being motivated by jealousy, even if the complaints are legitimate. To Nassau people, Nassau is The Bahamas.

The issues at the Grand Lucayan Resort that the foreign athletes encountered coupled with the pathetic state of the Grand Bahama International Airport might embarrass The Bahamas internationally. I am hoping that the over 400 athletes and their massive entourage did not see the dilapidated International Bazaar and the Royal Oasis Resort and Casino, which would've further added to the embarrassment.

This just might be the final nail in the coffin that motivates the Progressive Liberal Party government and the official Opposition Free National Movement to take a bipartisan drastic measure in fixing Freeport once and for all.
