To be fair The Americas Cup is a British invention.

They threw the challenge out to the world.

Only the United States answered the challenge. Sending their boat while”America” and sweeping the race.

We renamed the race after that boat.

Is it?. Sailing isn’t my thing.

Don’t get me wrong, my friend, I think the comeback is incredible and one of the greatest. I just wonder if it is THE greatest. Maybe it is, maybe I am being too harsh. After all, its only sport. I am not going to bust a blood vessel arguing. Maybe you are right after all.

I’d also like to see the competitors come from the correct nations. Otherwise Team USA or Team NZ is worthless.
