| Message | It is not the responsibility of the government to provide sports. If the people want them then they can organize themselves. William Durden, Orange Party |

| Message | The GLP heavily disagrees with your statement. Some of the top nations in Terra fund their sports teams, and if we want to truly evolve our nation we should do the same. It was not without great thought that this bill was proposed, we assure you. We are not saying funding our athletes will make them the greatest, but with some years of training, with the correct amount of funding it could. Let us not forget that people who want to organize sports can't always do it, because their is not any funding available. We want all of Terra to be active, and this is one way to help. |
