The lawyers advising delegates of the 41 member states of football's Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) on the need for change might just as well have been Caribbean Community (CARICOM) governments addressing the directors of the West Indies Cricket Board on the same theme.
Several principals of CONCACAF, one of the six confederations within FIFA, were involved in the scandals leading to the demise of the latter's long-serving president, Sepp Blatter, and Friday's election in Zurich that chose his successor. According to a Reuters report, after being cautioned by its lawyers of "the serious consequences if it failed to change its structure", CONCACAF voted on the eve of Friday's ballot to introduce sweeping reforms.
The WICB has flatly refused to do the same, rejecting the conclusion of three separate, independent committees over the past nine years that reviewed its composition, structure and governance of the sport.
It finally led to the intervention of CARICOM governments and the inevitable confrontation that came to a head at their leaders' annual conference in Belize last week, at which they decided to terminate discussions on the issue with the WICB.
