Gal in the hood: Sporty trends

By Chiquitta

Kenyans have always had a weird relationship with sports. Don’t get me wrong: We make for the most loyal fans when we latch onto any sport but sometimes we seem to over do it. Usually sporting events seem to pick up during a winning streak or charismatic personality gets involved. It’s hard to imagine that a decade ago wide screen sports television were not a dime a dozen in pubs and clubs. Now you can’t enjoy a good evening without people staring over your shoulder at the screen behind you. Well, fanatics have had there moments and there are so many sports Kenyans have latched onto and discarded. But I doubt that would be happening to footie or rugby in the near future though.
