Am I the only one that's P.O.'d about the changes to the Nationality Rules from years gone by?

That was always one of the biggest draws (for me) to the America's Cup, and I think it was the intent, in the original race. Back in the day, everything had to come from "Country of Origin".

Certainly the skipper and all crew, but also the designers, the boat builder, the sailmaker, etc. all came from the home country of the entry.

I'm just a little perplexed that with a population of about 330 million people, the United States of America cannot put together a competitive AC team! Aren't we supposed to be the "Greatest Nation on Earth"?

I guess our real talent is eating, and watching NASCAR?
