"Apologize?" O-K-A-!

I should be the one (and those "team managers") to do the apologizing to the gifted athletes of the Samoa Olympic Team.

Ele Opeloge and Aunese Cureen, it is I (and those "team managers") who should be "kissing the grounds you so gently glide on" if there is any humbling going on.

Where do I (and those "team managers") get off thinking we could ever do what each Samoan athlete does so easily in their competition and expect to be living to (for shame) talk about it too?

Nay, if I (and those "team managaers") had a "Brain" we'd be begging forgiveness for not tending to the athletes simple needs in order that they may concentrate on why they are there, but no!, such simple necessities like "Brains" does not come easily for myself (and those "team managers")!!!

Faatoese/Sorry! O Great Ones of the Samoa Olympic Team. I (and those "d-*-m-* team managers") will try to find a "Brain" to do better at the next Olympic events.

Fa'afetai/Thanks! Chairman of the Tautua Samoa Party, MP Lealailepule Rimoni Aiafi, for putting myself (and those "team managers") in our ever-forgetful places.

We should never put so much pressure on our athletes to whence they feel the need to apologize. Our culture is one that reinforces the symptom as it is the offended that seeks the forgiveness and not the offender. Forgiveness is made that more hearty this way I suppose. Good for the soul says my grandma.

Our athletes are tested in these world events to be the best at what they do. Let's see, with over 6 Billion People on the planet and even being placed 50th place at the Olympics, it sure makes me proud that our athletes came out fairly well considering we do not have the facilities to accomodate their training.

Cheers to All Samoa Athletes in their endeavors----
