3Okay, so…wait.Eny e, aleo ary…miandry.
4When the US Feds, in conjunction with Swiss authorities, raided a hotel in Zurich towards the end of May and arrested several FIFA officials, Jack Warner, the former FIFA vice-president who, curiously, has not ventured off Trinidad and Tobago soil for years and who was named in the indictments, vehemently denied that he had ever accepted a bribe, even going so far as to cite a satirical article from The Onion in his shabby self-defence [scroll to 5:01 on the video timeline below]:Raha nanao bemidina tao amin'ny hotely Zurich ireo Feds Amerikana, niara-niasa tamin'ireo manampahefana Soisa, ny faramparan'ny volana May, ary nisambotra tomponandraikitra maro tao amin'ny FIFA, voalaza tao amin'ilay fiampangàna ihany koa i Jack Warner, ilay filoha lefitra teo aloha an'ny FIFA, izay mahagaga, tsy niala teo amin'ny tanin'i Trinite sy Tobago mihitsy efa an-taonany maro izay, ary nandà mafy ny tsy mbola nanaiky nandray tsolotra, ary nitanisa lahatsoratra miaro fanesoana avy tamin'ny The Onion mihitsy, tamin'ny fiarovantenany mahatsiravina [mandehana any amin'ny ampaham-potoana 5:01 amin'ito lahatsary ambany ito]:
5So forgive me if I'm a little confused when, a week later, the very same Jack Warner takes to the airwaves and tries to implicate a sitting prime minister by inferring that he will release documents detailing his “knowledge and involvement in” FIFA's “funding”, how that “funding” was linked to the political party that Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar heads, and how that money essentially made possible the 2010 election campaign which brought her to office.Ka mamelà ahy ianareo raha somary very kely aho, herinandro iray aty aoriana, ilay Jack Warner iny ihany mihitsy no nanangam-peo ary nanandrana ny hampiditra ny praiminisitra amperinasa tamin'ilay raharaha, tamin'ny filazàna fa hamboraka antontan-taratasy manome ny antsipirihany ny “fahalalàny sy ny fidirany” tamin'ny “famatsiam-bolan'”i FIFA izy, ny fomba fifandrohizan'ilay “famatsiam-bola” amin'ny antoko politika izay tantanan'ny Praiminisitra Kamla Persad-Bissessar, ary ny fomba nahavitan'izany vola izany ny fampielezan-kevitra tamin'ny fifidianana ny taona 2010 izay nitondra azy teo amin'ny toerany.
6Warner was sending a clear message to Trinidad and Tobago's political elite that if he is extradited, he'll take them down with him; civil society is now calling for a police probe into whether or not the government broke anti-money laundering laws:Nandefa hafatra mazava ho an'ny sangany ara-politikan'i Trinite sy Tobago i Warner, fa raha ho ahondrana izy, ho sarangotiny midina miaraka aminy ihany koa izy ireo; miantso ny hisian'ny fanadihadian'ny polisy ankehitriny ny fiarahamonim-pirenena hijerena raha toa ka nanitsakitsaka na tsia ny lalànan'ny famotsiam-bola ny governemanta:
7You just can't make this stuff up.Tsy afaka manao zavatra toy izany ianareo.
8But hang on-it gets better.Fa miandry fotsiny hoe hihatsara io.
9This is, after all, Trinidad and Tobago, land of the “smart man”.Io koa moa, Trinite sy Tobago, tanin'ny “lehilahy marani-tsaina”.
10They don't call us “Trickidadians” for nothing.Tsy antsoin'izy ireo hoe “Trickidadiana” amin'izao fotsiny koa isika.
11Warner kept insisting that the indictment against him was a witch hunt against developing nations, comparing himself to the likes of two of the most globally revered icons of nonviolent resistance: “Nelson Mandela made jail.Mamerimberina milaza i Warner fa haza lambo atao amin'ireo firenena andalam-pandrosoana io fiampangàna azy io, mampitovy ny tenany amin'ireo olona roa mamim-bahoaka indrindra izay indraindraina maneran-tany amin'ny fanoherana tsy mampiasa herisetra: “niditra am-ponja i Nelson Mandela.
12Gandhi made jail.Niditra am-ponja i Gandhi.
13[…] So who's Jack Warner?”[…] Ka iza moa i Jack Warner?”
14Who is Jack Warner?Iza i Jack Warner?
15I guess it depends on which pill you swallow.Mieritreritra aho hoe miankina amin'ny pilina atelinao io.
16There has been a lot of talk online about the motivation behind the FIFA arrests.Nisy resaka be loatra teto amin'ny Aterineto momba ny antony ambadik'ireo fisamborana ny ekipan'ny FIFA.
17One popular conspiracy theory revolves around geopolitical power.Malaza be ny hoe fikomiana manodidina ny resaka fitadiavam-pahefana ara-jeografika sy politika iny.
18Also in the mix is race.Ao anatin'izany rehetra izany koa ny firazanana.
19I am not so naive as to think that politics and power don't seep into everything they touch, like effluent from a septic tank.Tsy vendrana akory aho ka hieritreritra hoe tsy hiditriditra amin'ny zavatra rehetra kitihany ireo ny politika sy ny fahefàna, sahala amin'ny rano maloto avy amin'ny toeram-pivoahana.
20I acknowledge developing nations' desire to buck Uncle Sam, and that the United States, like other countries, has often brought politics into sport.Ekeko ny fanirian'ireo firenena andalam-pandrosoana hanatsimbadika an'i Oncle Sam (Dadatoa Rasamy) aho, sy hoe matetika mitondra ny resaka politika hatrany amin'ny fanatanjahantena i Etazonia, toy ireo firenena hafa ihany.
21But to suggest that the US has done this so that the “West” can regain control of the beautiful game and its even more attractive profits?Fa kosa, ny hilaza fa nanao izao i Etazonia mba ahafahan'ny “Tandrefana” maka indray ny fitantanana ilay kilalao mahafinaritra sy ireo tombotsoany izay mahasarika bebe kokoa ve?
22To say that their Department of Justice, which just happens to be headed by a black woman, is out to get Jack Warner because he's a black man?Ny milaza fa ny Minisiteran'ny Fitsaràny, izay vao nanomboka notantanan'ny vehivavy mainty hoditra, dia nivoaka nisambotra an'i Jack Warner satria izy lehilahy mainty hoditra?
23(Most of the FIFA executives arrested in Zurich were white).(Fotsy hoditra ny ankamaroan'ireo tomponandraikitry ny FIFA nosamborina tao Zurich).
24I really do have to wonder whether all logic has left the building.Tena mila manontany tena mihitsy aho hoe sao nilaozan'ny lohjika rehetra ary ilay tranobe.
25Besides, if anyone appears to hold developing nations in disdain, it is Jack Warner, who was accused by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) of siphoning money away from Haitian earthquake relief efforts in 2010.Eo ankilany, raha misy ny olona mitazona ireo firenena an-dàlam-pandrosoana amin'ny tsy firaharahiana, i Jack Warner izany, izay nampangain'ny Federasiônan'ny Baolina Kitra an'i Trinite sy Tobago (TTFF) ho nandanilany tamin'ny tsy antony ny vola avy tamin'ny ezaka fanampiana ho an'i Haiti tamin'ny horohorontany ny taona 2010.
26If you want to believe that the clampdown on FIFA was not, at heart, about corruption, fine.Raha te-hino ianao hoe, hatrany ifotony, tsy resaka kolikoly ilay fanenjehana natao tamin'ny FIFA iny, tsy maninona.
27There are enough counts of racketeering, money laundering, fraud and bribery to make politicians' heads spin, but let's suspend our disbelief for just a minute and pretend that the US government would be so inept as to carry out such high profile arrests without sufficient evidence to convict.Misy sy ampy tsara ireo resaka fitakiam-bola, famotsiam-bola, hosoka ary kolikoly ahafahana manodinkodina ny lohan'ireo mpanao politika, fa avelao hajanona iray minitra monja eo aloha ny tsy finoantsika, ka andao ataontsika hoe tena adala tokoa ny governemanta Amerikana nanao ireo fisamborana lehibe sy nankalazaina be ireo kanefa tsy nanana porofo mazava tsara mba hiampangàna akory.
28If anything, the whole sordid affair has been about economics, with FIFA executives controlling the purse strings and the Global South singing for its supper.Raha tsy izany, resaka momba ny toekarena io raharaha mahatsiravina io, miaraka amin'ireo manampahefan'ny FIFA mitazona ny fanalahidin'ny fifanakalozana ara-barotra sy ny hiran'ny Tontolo Atsimo rehetra, ho an'ny sakafo harivany .
29Contrary to the way the world football governing body wants to portray itself-as either a veritable Robin Hood, taking from the rich to give to the poor or a fairy Godfather helping to make the football dreams of thousands of poor little brown boys come true-it has conveniently glossed over the degree of alleged profiteering that is taking place in between.Mifanohitra amin'ny tian'ireo tompon'andraikitra mitantana ny resaka baolina kitra hanehoana ny tenany- ho toy ny Robin des bois, maka avy amin'ny manankarena mba hanome ny mahantra, na ny Anjely mpiaro, manampy ny hahatanterahan'ny nofinofy momba ny baolina kitran'ireo ankizilahy zarazara hoditra mahantra an'arivony-nataony lasa tafahoatra mangingina tamin'ny ambaratongan'ny mpanararaotra izay mipetraka eo anelanelany izy.
30Let's keep our eyes on the ball.Ndeha ny masontsika atodika any amin'ny baolina.
31Whatever other push factors may or may not have prompted the indictments, the core issue must still be corruption.Na inona na inona antony nahatonga na tsia ireo fiampangàna ireo, tsy maintsy ny kolikoly ihany no tena fototr'ilay olana.
32Overlooking this for whatever reason-because your team got to go to the World Cup or because your country got infrastructure or increased tourist traffic-is a FIFA tactic, no different from World Cup players diving melodramatically on the pitch and trying to make the referee call a foul where there isn't one.Raha jerena amin'ny antony rehetra io-satria hoe tafakatra hankany amin'ny Lalaon'ny Tompon-daka Maneran-tany ny ekipanao, na koa hoe satria ny firenenao nahazo fotodrafitrasa na fitomboan'ny seraseran'ny fizahantany-fomba fiadin'ny FIFA izany, tsy misy iavahany amin'ireo mpilalao amin'ny Lalaon'ny Tompon-daka Maneran-tany mody mianjera eny amin'ny kianja ary miezaka ny hiantsoan'ny mpitsara lalao ny fahadisoana amin'ny zavatra tsy tokony isian'izany akory.
33It must still be corruption because it is high time we connected the dots.Tokony kolikoly foana izany satria efa tena fotoanany izao hampifandraisantsika ne teboka rehetra.
34Trinidad and Tobago's escalating crime rate, political ills, failing social services, and the economic chasm between the haves and the have-nots, can all be traced back to the beguiling smile of the “smart man”.Samy afaka hita eny amin'ny tsiky finaritr'ilay “lehilahy mrani-tsaina” daholo ny fiakaran'ny tahan'ny heloka bevava ao Trinite sy Tobago, ireo aretin'ny politika, ny tsy fahombiazan'ny tolotra sosialy, ary ny hantsana lehibe ara-toekarena misy eo amin'ny manana sy ny tsy manana.
35The sudden possibility that white collar criminals could actually be made to pay for their transgressions, even at the hand of the United States, has made Trinbagonians positively dizzy precisely because such an eventuality is unprecedented.Tena nahafanina tsara tokoa ireo Trinbagoniana aloha ny hoe mety handraisan'ireo jiolahy an-databatra ny valin'asany tampotampoka teo, na ho eo am-pelatanan'i Etazonia mihitsy, satria tena tsy mbola nisy hatrizay tokoa ny toy izany.
36But I'm still not sure whether the vertigo is caused by simple bafflement or intoxication over the realisation of our own power, if only we can properly harness it.Kanefa mbola tsy fantatro tsara raha avy amin'ny fahatairana fotsiny na avy amin'ny zava-bita tafahoatra loatra nataon'ireo manampahefantsika ny mahatonga io fanina io; raha mba afaka trandrahantsika bebe kokoa mantsy io.
