Because claiming Jamaica’s superiority over Brazil in cricket and netball would be like Australia claiming superiority over New Zealand in Australian Rules Football.

1. Athletics

Joaquim Cruz was great, but he’s not these two:

2. Bobsledding

Enough said:

3. Women’s Football

As of tonight, with Jamaica, in only their second Women’s World Cup, scoring a thrilling 0-0 ‘win’ to knock the Brazilian women out in the group stages for the first time since 1995.

Score 1 for the Reggae Girlz!

And I would note that it’s entirely appropriate that I play Bob Marley in a post about Jamaican Women’s Football, considering his daughter Cedella is the team’s ambassador and played a huge role fundraising the team to their debut World Cup appearance in 2019, and now their first knockout stage qualification in 2023.
