Sport, sponsors, activism and politics

[Thryleon]

Disagree, relatively the returns are massive.
All those young girls watching on tv and then playing with their local club, buying uniforms, runners, playing finals, buying trophys, having pie/pizza fundraising nights etc.
At a senior level I'd imagine the finals might be in Victoria...? leading to a need for accommodation, transport and food for teams, officials and fans who will travel to watch their team hopefully win the big one.
Then theres these active healthy kids and women NOT sitting on the couch, NOT being obese, NOT developing diabetes etc, etc...
What are we talking...? $10 Million or something ?
I wouldn't mind the cash and you probably wouldn't say no either, but in the public sphere, seriously, what do you get for $10 mil ?

I think you are missing what I am saying.

The Grand Prix is a massive money spinner for the state as is an Aussie Open.

Netball can generate as much expenditure as you can drum up, but it isnt going to bring 320 000 tourists to the state let alone the country.
