Isn't there enough crap to litigate in these cup competitions?
More than enough, I agree. But a citizenship requirement wouldn't require legal action or even any investigation. Every crew member of an America's Cup team already has a publicized biography (or at least a long, long sailing resume). If a non-citizen is crewing, you don't have to file a lawsuit - a simple protest is sufficient.

What value do you see with the nationality requirement?.... I would drop both equipment and personnel limitations and may the best team win!
The Americas Cup is set up as a nation vs. nation contest. I'd just like it to be an honest contest. Otherwise, you might as well take the country codes off the sails and change the regatta name to the "Corporation Cup".
