PLEASE allow me space in your prestigious paper to reply to that ugly, vindictive creature who is now being erroneously promoted as a sports journalist.It is because of my genuine respect for Mr. Neil Kumar, a gentleman with whom I grew up, and whom I have known for more than 40 years that I feel I must reply to the hogwash that was written in the Kaieteur News Sports pages under the caption, “Sport View by Freddie Kissoon” (Sic; first of all I am reliably informed that the substantive sports editor is on leave, So “effluence man” was able to write his filthy article.
Let me, from the inception, say that we have read all of Mr. Neil Kumar’s articles from since way back in the 1970s, when his articles were captioned “Sports by Neil.”
Mr. Kumar’s sport view last weekend was a revelation. He captured the full scenario, explained the playing rules/conditions and interpreted the rules and regulations in a most profound manner.
I want to say that Neil Kumar is not a member of the Board of Directors of neither the Guyana Chronicle nor the Mirror newspaper. Freddie Kissoon is at best a tale-peddler and at worst a pathological liar who is proud of the lies he tells.
Let me make it crystal clear that Neil Kumar is absolutely right.  It is universally accepted that everyone, before entering a public swimming pool, must have a shower. We have known from our days at the university that students in the political class always detested being in the same lecture room because of his high body odour and his foul breath. So I can see why he would have objections to showering before entering the pool. It is quite likely that the man has objections about showering in general.
Freddie Kissoon made reference to lifeguards. Mr. Kumar was instrumental in bringing a professional lifeguard from Canada to Guyana.  Let it be known that it is under the astute leadership of Mr. Kumar that last year, for the first time, six Guyanese were certified as international lifeguards, while a few others were certified at a lower level.
Let me make it clear that the Sports Hall was never used as an abattoir. Further, I have genuine familial feelings for Mr. Kumar and his family. This goat issue was raised in Parliament and it was crystal clear that at no time was any goat slaughtered at the Sports Hall. In addition, it is inexcusably offensive when this little troll of a man made reference to Mr. Kumar’s son. Now, Mr. Kissoon, maybe jealousy led you to take offence at Mr. Kumar having sons, I will never know. However, your perceived deficiencies should not be the basis of your criticism of those better than you.
I am fully aware that the press printed a block letter apology to Mr. Kumar, clearly stating that Kumar never said that the ABC countries are Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
Freddie developed a hatred for Kumar because my friend Kumar refused to do his Politics as a subject at the University of Guyana. Kumar did SOC-100 with Professor Ken Danns.  Kumar simply said on campus that he would not waste time doing “Poll” with Kissoon because Mr. Kumar knows more politics than “Stinkie Freddie”. Freddie Kissoon is a self-confessed thief, and he cannot now deny that he stole from the Michael Forde bookshop. He must tell us about the big coat session in Canada; and further, he must tell us what took place with him on the beach in Grenada.
Kissoon, you tried to malign and made derogatory remarks about the great Mahatma Gandhi: Your recent inane attempts to ridicule our eminent Muslim brother, Fazal Feroze from the CIOG, is further proof of your invidious nature.
Freddie Kissoon, you can never come close to being a person or a journalist like Neil Kumar. Kumar has always displayed great passion and integrity in his quest to help make a better Guyana for ALL Guyanese. You, on the other hand, seem to revel in making enemies with vindictive and blatant lies. If spreading lies and hatred are the things that bring you happiness, then I suggest you seek professional help.

Put an end to these unjustifiably spiteful attacks against good people. I am making a direct appeal to the miniscule remnants of your humanity and journalistic Integrity. Adam Harris, stop the nonsense.
