PSL Teams Massacre

By Malose Wa Ga Lamola The willing buyer-willing seller principle is not good for the auctioning of professional football club status on two grounds. Firstly it nullifies the competitiveness of the league, secondly rebranding erases the heritage and history of the selling club. It is hard to fathom how a series of football clubs massacre led by business people is being normalised. The gratuitous killings of the clubs in South Africa is scary, it is worse than a horror movie. These predators are not discriminatory though, they'll feast on the old and the new alike. The oldies, Mpumalanga Black Aces and Bidvest Wits were slaughtered, the newly born Maccabi also suffered the same fate. When their bank balances overflow they don't show no mercy. Everyone can fall prey to these loaded predators. But a season after one team has been swallowed up, peace returns in the playing field like nothing has happened. Can we flatten the curve?
