There's nothing worse than a family member managing a talented sports man or woman.
In the case of Katie Taylor, it seems that she can't be seen on TV without her father standing beside her and then him being interviewed after she's spoken.
What's this all about?.....I find it uncomfortable.
He's now come out and demanded that RTE remove her from the ad. for the TV license (which is not the responsibility of RTE)....he says that her early fights in the run up to the Olympics in 2 years are not being covered...RTE say that they don't have the finance to cover her at this stage.
There are hundreds of athletes preparing for the initial stages who won't be covered either.
Peter Taylor runs the risk of alienating her Irish public by kicking up in this way and insinuating that she should get special treatment. He's wrong - all of the athletes deserve a turn.
......and he should stay off the TV and let Katie take the glory she deserves.
