NZ'S CUP IS NOW SPAIN'S CUP
It was a hard slog and lots of emotion and NZ money to get America's Cup back to NZ.
Now we had the chance to defend it back-to-back and cash in on it and watch with pride and awe our brilliant, hi- tech team (on and off the water) execute at home. But the cup racing has been swept thousands of kilometres away in some God forsaken, bull fighting and wine-making place called Barcelona.
Something is very wrong with the state of play. Whatever happened to "the America's Cup is now NZ's Cup". The highs and the lows of sport was never this low from a NZ standpoint. Funny thing though, I will still be watching the racing and hoping a boat with NZ connection turns up trumps.
Was it really the money NZ Govt etc had put together totalling 91 million dollars while the winning bidder added another 30 million? One gets the feeling the NZ Govt would have upped the anti but they never got the chance as someone named Dalton decided on no (more) bargaining. The difference was probably only the size of the pay packet destined for these wealthy yachties.

Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?
