BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS — The photo making the rounds on social media says more than a thousand press releases ever could: St. Kitts and Nevis Minister of Sport Hon. Samal Duggins smiling alongside Patriots team owner Mahesh Ramani and Grenada’s Minister of Sport Hon. Andy Williams. At first glance, it might seem like a friendly moment between regional sports leaders — but to many in the know, it looks suspiciously like the first public handshake of a franchise in transition.
If that’s true, the upcoming home games may well be the last hurrah for Kittitian and Nevisian fans. The loss of the Patriots would mark yet another bitter blow for the Drew administration’s sports legacy, and further cement Samal Duggins’ rapidly growing reputation as — in the words of one former sports official — “the most incompetent sports minister in the history of St. Kitts and Nevis, and maybe the Caribbean.”

Fans are being urged to pack the stands, wear their colors, and give the Patriots a send-off worthy of their name… because after this season, the “St. Kitts & Nevis” in St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots might just be gone for good.
