Rocket lab doesn’t get downtown Auckland going. And if it goes to Britain we’re not developing anything here either...
I mean we give big screen productions breaks for jobs. America’s cup is a lot of tourism, spectators, super yachts etc. As well it’s in the title or they should call themselves Emirates team Arsenal Isle of Wight or wateva and allow us to back another NZ team. 

It’s exactly like Manchester or Milan lending their name to competitive home games that happen in America and Asia. It makes it meaningless and it is stealing the Manchester or the Milan part of the team. 

It’s a two-fold objection. Identity theft and loss of post-vaccination travel event bump tourism given the amount fronted for little or no return in the last effort.

I’m sure there may be counter arguments, but those are my basic objections to an overseas defense.
