- Description
A rugby official sits at his computer thrilled at a deal for securing the Rugby World Cup. The cartoon contains a lot of text and begins 'Congratulations! - You have just won the right to stage an international sporting event. To claim your prize you must first sign your sovereignty over your game to our organization. Have your parliament pass any laws required, and appoint a politician to do whatever else might be needed'. The text continues by suggesting that the deal will require you to sell your children and mortgage your grandchildren to fund facilities and infrastructure, guarantee our organization all the profits, 'hike the price of tickets, goods and services beyond the average fan's ability to pay, and ignore all protests'. 'And if you're lucky you might get to play in the final and even to win the cup - or at least a good copy of it'. Context: A critical view of the implications of New Zealand's winning the rights to stage the Rugby World Cup.
