The disastrous and humiliating performance of the LVPI team in the recent VTV Cup shows the absence of love for the sport of volleyball, players and country of LVPI officials.
LVPI officials clearly do not have love for the sport of volleyball as they blatantly disrespected the tournament in Vietnam. If LVPI officials truly love volleyball, they would have treated it with more respect by assuring quality games from the team that it dared to send to the tournament.
LVPI officials do not have love for the players as they subjected and exposed them to humiliation. The players were sent to be slaughtered by the opposition as they were not even trained as a team. And slaughtered they were, losing even to a university team where a victory could have salvaged a semblance of pride and honor.
Lastly, LVPI officials do not have love for the country as they focused more on saving their faces than bringing honor and pride to the country. For the LVPI team to finish dead-last in the tournament, to lose to a university team and to post several single-digit scores in several sets simply offend the sensibilities of Filipinos as a whole. A Filipino who truly loves his or her country will never do anything to bring shame to the motherland to that extent.
Where is the love, LVPI ?
