More Than A Sport - America's Cup Sustainability

[hulaman]

Gimme a break! Sounds like Shell, BP and Monsanto trying to convince us they are going green. I love sailing and the America's Cup but let's face it, it's a spectacle of egotistical rich men and their multimillion dollar toys. The only things sustainable here is the wind, both off the water and outta the butts of those producing these sound bites...LOL

Wha? Touchy-feely ethics surrounding The America's Cup? Conservation and sustainability amongst one of mankind's most indulgent, expensive and ultimately useless activities? Okay, spin it for what you can, but, let's face it, it's entertainment, it's spectacle, self-gratification of the highest order. But that's a beautiful thing; just recognise it for what it is. It's worse than what it's purporting to solve when pretending to be something it's not.

Do it if it helps, but be unashamed.
