    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me the time to also support this statement. As other hon. Members have said, athletics in this country is very important, especially, for our young people because of the fact that they do not have jobs. They need something to expend their energies on so that they do not create havoc. To try to avoid athletics or games in the country is tantamount to just letting those young people without any avenue or activity to expend their strength. Madam Deputy Speaker, I also want to speak on the aspect of tribalism. I want to bring this aspect to the attention of the House, the country and the trainers wherever they may be. There is a bit of tribalism that is creeping into athletics, especially when it comes to selecting athletes to go outside the country for competition. Right now they are competing in the Olympics games in Tokyo. In training camps, if a particular athlete qualifies to participate outside the country and it is found that he or she belongs to a particular tribe that is not very liked, he or she is left out of the list of participants. That is horrible. That kind of tribalism should not creep into athletics."
