The answer to that question with no other context whatsoever and no emotional relevance then the answer is yes.


However, put in some relevant context such as which sport are you talking about? Do you like that sport? If the league based in a country that you are from or live in? Are you a fan of any of the teams in that league? Etc, etc then the answer is very different.


In fact, the correct answer to the context-less question would really be 'I don't give a shit' because without context, it's a relatively meaningless question. 


It's interesting that what you are rather clumsily trying to frame as a "context-less question" is actually the one question that really matters i.e. how to improve the league and get more attention from fans, media, sponsors etc? It's a question that posters from ACFC are constantly harping on about on here. However, the problem that you and some of your mates seem to have is that you are unwilling/unable to set aside your loyalty to ACFC in order to discuss that question objectively. Somebody has to though, so you are effectively just excluding yourself from the conversation. What you are calling "context" is actually just a bloody-minded refusal to examine the issue from any other point of view but ACFC's.

Anyway, I better leave it there for now or I'll end up breaking Rule 7.
