There are probably a lot of football
fields, volleyball nets and basketball courts in Kuwait; I wouldn’t know really, I’m not much of a sports fan. I tried, but that phase stuck
around for less than a year when I dabbled
with every sport in school, I
even tried playing a little baseball. It’s safe to say that that chapter of life is over: my basketball
has lost all of its air, I don’t know where my football is gone and my
baseball glove is safely
stashed away behind my PSP and Monopoly
board game. A
friend of mine however, tried to convince me to accompany her to the basketball
courts; I didn’t go.
Once she was back, she complained
incessantly about how bad the courts by Marina Mall were. I didn’t think much of it, until my older sister asked if I wanted to go with her to the courts,
she needed inspiration for a project, or something
of the sort. I jumped at the
opportunity; I wanted to see what my friend was on about.
The place was in bad shape. The
steps were spray painted
with awful graffiti, as well as the seats. There were a number of
entrances, but only two of them were ajar. Most were
tightly locked, and the top of one of the doors was broken so it was hanging
off its hinges. The
chain-linked fences were bent,
probably by the wind and
now remain in a permanent concave shape. The fence was also rusting, and not in a good way. I want to say that at least the hoops were all in good form, but not all of them had nets…
Sadly, this lack of maintenance is everywhere, all over Kuwait. At least these sport fields are still in use.
