It was shallow and narrow self-interests, mutual suspicion of each other, and personal political ambitions and rivalry, which broke up the West Indian Federation.

Rubbish article from a rubbish newspaper. If anything, in as much as it is currently in a sorry state, Cricket is the only unifying force in the Caribbean (and South America).
The author must have never had the privilege to read CLR James whose thesis is that Cricket is a game of high and difficult technique. If it were not it could not carry the load of social response and implications which it carries, The game of cricket continues to be a unifying force within the Caribbean, It is common knowledge that besides the University of the West Indies, Cricket which has been identified as one of the creative arts by an outstanding Caribbean intellectual, has acted as a bridge connecting the many islands which make up the Caribbean archipelago."

CLR proses may have been apt 30 or 40 years ago but no longer speaks to a true Caribbean entity as a whole. We are now several parts rooting for our own and always pulling down someone from another territory who even shows a glimpse of getting in the way....
You apparently don't follow the posts and reasoning on this MB
