I’m assuming preparing and sending our team to simply ‘show-up’ at this event cost the tax payer at least 100K…..its just common sense to push the financial support toward the most promising prospects of putting BDA on the international stage…..sailors, equestians, and even gymnists have been ignored for years while putting BDA in the top 1/4 of these sports…..while our national sportsmen disgrace and embarrass us frequently to the tune of thousands of dollars……no national pride votes there
Lots of pride in St. David’s.
