the state has important things to do than to honor a COMMON FOOTBALLER. any honoring of a player is made by its sport association. this is the kind of nonsense good ghanaians get to hear when you sheepishly allow footballers - we know they are imbeciles and never went to school - to enter into any national discussion. this idiot paintsil went to england and didn't even notice that his name was written wrongly on his jersey. so why listen to this idiot.

It is not just football, it is a political tool than can be used to create national unity{a common footballer, Drogba, helped to stop the war in Ivory Coast. It can also be used to raise the moral and confidence of the people. We can also use it to promote our culture and our personality. We can use football to promote tourism and crate wealth for the nation. John Paintsil did not sit in the 4 walls of the university classroom but I can tell you that he is better educated than most Ghanaian university graduates who have never lived abroad. Ghana is "Gyimi" country and that is why the politicians take you for a ride. Why do you think no one ever resigns from a political position?

Why should he be honoured? There are so many excellent players who REALLY sacrificed their services for Ghana for nothing. In any case, he played with a team so what about the rest?

Pintsil holstered the Israeli flag again in Egypt forcing GFA to make an official apology and suspending him.It really doesn't matter to where or when, he just had no business doing that in a football match that had nothing to do with Israel.How would it look if Gyan decided to hoist a middleeastern COUNTRY'S flag in a match? Be smart and stop talking shut.

Anyboby who does a good job for their country in whatever capacity deserves to be honoured. Nothing wrong with honouring a faithfaul servant. Football is close to Ghanaian hearts and its impact on the morale wellbeing of a nation that loves a sport is huge. If the presidents makes a list of a past sports personalities and holds a feast at a national house for them, will that not be nice. This can be extended to civil servants and farmers as well.
