Playing football in an Indian family

The debate about playing football in an Indian family

An Indian girl wants to play football but her family refuses.

They want her to practise religion and Indian traditions:

– They want her to cook. For example, she must cook chapati (Indian bread).

– They want her to get married.

– They want her to stop playing football with boys.

– They don’t want her skin to be darker.

– They don’t want people to talk about the family, to gossip. They don’t want shame on the family.

Explanation of a bobsled team

Bobsled is a winter sport. For a team, you must have:

– 1 driver

– 3 strong runners

– ice

– a cart with no wheels.

In Jamaica, there is no ice! Sanka doesn’t accept to be on the team and he exaggerates. In Jamaica, there are no igloos, no Eskimos, no penguins and no ICE!

Sanka repeats « ice » because he doesn’t understand.
