I don't like language like that at all because, you know, our society is already divided.
It's getting more divided by the day.
My social media tells me that every day, Jared.
So just because an Indian player
or an Indian owner comes into the space and owns the other second team in Melbourne, I don't think any Indian origin person is just going to, okay, I'm going to go support that club.
It's different if Indian players come.
So if R. Ashwin does show up this season and play for Thunder, and then there are a few people who suddenly start supporting Thunder, I can see that happen.
Also because it's R. Ashwin, you know, a player of that pedigree.
But it'll purely be a business deal.
It'll bring in more money for sure.
But I think the question to be asked, and I've been pondering this in the last one week, Jared, is what is for sale though?
I mean, is the BBL almost... I know I've been fully in favor of privatization, but I wonder if the BBL is ready to be sold or any club ready to be sold to foreign interests.
We're hearing that Perth Scotchers are people there who are interested in buying the club, like local business and probably someone in the mining industry.
But when it comes to, say, the second Melbourne team, even if it's for sale for 100%, what do you get out of it?
Like, what are you saying?
So you won't have too many fans because all the Victorians are going to be supporting us.
And you might get a couple of home games at the MCG.
This week I'm going to spend, Jared, I think next week will be interesting.
