How much did you make? I know I didn't make anything. Neither did any of my friends. So who did? The restaurants? Hotels? Bars?<br /><br />Excellent. <br /><br />Then they can sponsor the event, and write off the costs against their increased profits. <br /><br />Why is it that Kiwis are always bleating about "socializing the cost, and privatizing the profits" until it's a sport they personally like? Then they are all for paying the costs out of someone else's wallet.

These companies have made millions from their sponsorship through the medium of advertising. That is why they do the sponsorship deal; not because of philanthropy or because they love sailors (though every girl does), or because they are really nice guys - the dollar is King. The NZ team should be seeking sponsorship now if they need financial support to see them through to the next phase of their defense. And this should be from the companies that have already made a killing from their sponsorship to date - not from me or from other taxpayers who have made absolutely bugger all from the Americas Cup. And any deal they do should also include a rider that sponsorship must continue after the next defense until the one after - which of course may also be a challenge.<br />But of course politicians will see which way the wind is blowing and act accordingly. After all IT'S NOT THEIR MONEY!! Would be interesting to see how far English or any of the other leeches would reach into their own pockets.Macnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-65257156696094719432017-07-04T10:32:34.508+12:002017-07-04T10:32:34.508+12:00Hear hear Peter!
