| Message | We can sell them. Besides were just selling the name of the teams and such. Its not a big deal really. But why pay for team with tax money that could be used for something like Education. |

| Message | No, sport is a necessary part of our society, to have a healthy population. As such we should fund it. |
| Date | 06:44:27, November 19, 2005 CET | From | Peoples Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Private Funded Sports clubs |
| Message | Then let the 'other providers' of society pay for it, while we handle more important matters like National Security and Education and healthcare. I mean thats the nicest way of putting it. |

| Message | Healthcare. Thankyou for bringing that up. Sport is essential for a healthy population. Therefore it is our duty to fund it. |

| Message | Cute but you cant hide under that guise. Healthcare is provided in the compliance of Hospitials, Medication, Health Screenings, providing for the senior citizens and research into cures for diseases, not to provide a sport. |

| Message | We beg to differ. |
| Date | 07:11:21, November 19, 2005 CET | From | Peoples Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Private Funded Sports clubs |
| Message | If your thinking mental health then i guess that could be argued but the bigger picture is that if we quit funding sports teams that make millions a year to play a game and put it back into the economy then we would be better off. |
