At least our youth can aspire to play for Man. City like our beloved Shaun Goater. Good like trying to get a boat in the America’s Cup.

Haha! The AC isn’t the owners racing against each other, and before city and chelsea were bought no-one outside of manchester or west london cared less about them.

You are right OJ, we do not need to encourage wealthy people to come to our shores with all their money. We shall break tradition and target the poor people they can help us out of this mess you created. Later that same week will laugh about this and slap each other on the back while we tend to our chickens.

i guess your memory must be short, i remember when Beyonce and a host of others a-list celebrities came to bermuda or how about the annual PGA tournament which is the blue ribband event for golfing. i guess no credit to the “bean party for that”.

beyonce may not be your cup of tea but neither is sailing mines, heck neither is golf but the “bean party” brought those events to Bermuda.

before there was abramovich and abu dhabi group there was city and chelsea so your point is moot.

its ironic how those that are going to get a slice of the pie aren’t on here complaining or talking bad about AC because they know what they’re going to reap. but us who arent getting a piece of it or as Ray says “trickle down” my ass-economics see it for what it really is. all pomp and show to show off bermuda but have no connect to the local bermudian.

as the big bad wolf did “huffed and puffed and blew your house down”

Um,

Don’t worry mate….I will be there, both days watching with a cold one….or two.

I am just giving you the facts.

Unfortunately, it’s just reality.

A lot of people think it does work. Taxi drivers, restaurant workers, hotel employees, house rental owners, furniture suppliers, painters, plumbers, electricians, car and bike retailers, food retailers, clothing retailers, all sorts of small business owners.

I think the idea OJ, is to generate money that went missing under the last mismanagement of our economy and perhaps we will be able to better assist our seniors and our children. Contrary to what you may believe money does not grow on trees.

Onion juice instead of complaining here why don’t you go somewhere were you are the majority? But it’s my guess you wouldn’t want to and reality is they probably don’t want you either.

That’s all it is. And those guys expect us to spend anything we have on this event. With the amount of money these guys have, all activities should be free.

Yes, we will all benefit from the AC cake, but most Bermudians will get the crumbs, while a few foreigners will get all the big slices.

And? So what? This event WILL increase our international exposure as a tourist destination. This event already HAS created employment opportunities for dozens of Bermudians. This event already HAS brought dozens of expat families to the island who ARE renting homes, buying groceries, buying gas, etc etc etc. I hope you, whoever you are, decides to come out and enjoy the events. Because it WILL be a success with or without you. But it’s best for Bermuda when we can all be a part of the success.

@ just me, so this Government is showing no interest in seniors, the Public School System and the 4000 unemployed people and you want us to stand up and look like Johnny Barns.
And the housekeepers and baby sitters get paid so little, its a form of modern day slavery, that’s why only a certain nationality does it.

A “Prep Rally” that last’s for 1/2 hour?????

Well, all of the races will take between 20-25 minutes each. The America’s Cup final is 3 races a day, first one to win 7.

A 13 race series.

This gig will be over before you know it!

The $$ will dwindle down to us all…..Our America’s cup family of people will rent homes, possibly hire house-keepers, baby sitters, send the kiddies to private schools, visit our restaurants, buy a car, take taxis when having a glass of wine or two, shop in Hamilton, Somerset, Dockyard and St. George. Buy groceries and items at the hardware stores…..this money will dwindle down to you and me via avenues we have not really thought of. The Taxi driver will make some $$ and be able to shop for items needed, the restaurant staff will make tips and be able to buy something truly needed.
The housekeeper will have a few extra dollars to spend and so on and so on…….we will all profit in one way or another…via bringing more tourists to the island ..or……even if it is only to meet a new friend. So open your hearts and arms to the America’s cup family one and all and show them what Bermudian hospitality is really like. THE PEOPLE OF BERMUDA AND OUR LITTLE ISLAND WILL BE SEEN WORLD WIDE..SO BIG SMILES EVERYONE.
