That is correct. The easy answer, which several of us have given, is to put sport in the national health and welfare department where it started, and to invest in it as part of the national health program, because of the resilience and other benefits it provides. Treat it like education, with good facilities, trained teachers, accountable leadership, and concerns about equity in class ratio and other terms.
I don't think this country is ready for that, but there are other countries, like Norway, which have done this very well. We should continue to demand that sport be treated as the public good that it is, rather than private, that if you're rich enough, your parents can buy entry into a league.
Thank you very much, sir. I really appreciate your question and your intent.
