The New Zealand team has to be black and white to be known as a New Zealand team. They are red, white and dark blue(black) which are the same colours as the flag so why is there an issue because of the different colours?

They complain about how the team is almost all white men but it is not historically known for Maori or other races to sail like they sail.

They also say that there weren't any trials to make it into the team but maybe they were watching from when they were younger. And they didn't have to trial because they were good enough

Not equal chance to let sailors onto the team. Scouted rather than trailled, should this be allowed or is trialling a better way of choosing team members?

Why do we try to compete against America in a sport where money can win you a title

The Team NZ is not a good reflection of what the racial and gender percentages of New Zealand is.
NZ is viewed as an extremely racially diverse country and one of the leading gender equality nations. And this America cup being shown to the world is a very poor reflection of our country making it unfair where people base assumptions on the team members.

Doesn't serve purpose to country, unlikely to inspire young kiwis as it's a lifestyle only rich white men can carry out

Can the 36 million spent on the Americas cup really be justified, how will it improve New Zealand if we win?

Is it fair to be using tax payers money on a sport which doesn't effectively represent NZ

Is it right giving more males than females roles within Team 'New Zealand'?
