The big man did great things for sport in Australia?? Or did he do great things for his bank account? Roy Masters just said that he won the first league deal for about a million bucks, about 10 percent of its real value. So was he procuring a good deal for himself or benefiting the league?
He had the pollies in his pocket, little john came out today with a stirring eulogy, which would have been more deserving for a mother theresa figure. He had buissness acumen yes, but he didnt save lives, he didnt devote his life to helping others.Yes he did support his charities, but Kerry giving a million was like a battler from the west giving a dollar without the tax benfit.
I never met the guy,so its not fair to put him down but in Australia we tend to put these guys on a pedstal and we lose sight of the real heros: the guy who works in the factory, those who drive fire trucks + ambulances or perform a public utility.
Yes he did make most of his buissness dealings in Australia,unlike his competitor Rupert.I think he enjoyed being larger than life in Australia, the big fish in a small pond.
But you know its funny, we are all born with nothing and die with nothing. Kerry now has the same as my deacesed grandmother and grandfather, nothing.
Did he contribute to Australia? Yes--but so do many others who do it without treading on anybody else and have nothing to gain from their efforts except personal satisfaction.
But are my negative vibes,due to his loyal support to the CHOOKS????
