| Message | You want the Government to not fund sports clubs, but to subsidise sports clubs...eh? Government operated clubs are subsidised clubs, or did that pass you by... |

| Message | No, I mean no subsidation or funding from government. Money spent on Sport Subsidies can be better spent on something better than sports clubs. No funding at all from government. |

| Message | You are simply making it worse for the groups that could not afford sports clubs after this law but were protected under the old legislation - http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=9219 |

| Message | I don't believe government money should finance sports clubs. It is really beyond the scope of government to own andfund a sports franchise. The cost is to great. I am sure there are no lack of private owners who will fund the clubs using their own money. |
