America's Cup likened to rabid dog

Let's stick our head into the circus tent of the America’s cup and see what the clowns are up to. The Society Nautique de Geneve, who represents America’s Cup Defender Alinghy, now says the competition will be held in the United Arab Emirates. Of course, rival team BMW Oracle have said have said screw you, or words to that effect, and it looks like the whole thing will now go back to the courts where has been for the last two years. Can you imaging how much money the lawyers are making from all this. Last week I received a tweet from on of our listeners who said the America's cup should just be put down like the rabid dog it has become. What do you think of the America’s Cup? I’ve posted this item on the blog for your comments. Is the America’s Cup beyond hope? Let me know and I'll read out your comments on the show.

No idea about the internal politics of the America Cup; but they will have added a few external ones.
Just off the coast of Ras al Khaimah is the Island of Abu Musa and futher away are the Tumbs – these sovereignty of these 3 islands are disputed by Iran - Sharjah & Ras al Khaimah
