Yes. In the long run, it will destroy (or at least diminish) the Open.

People are already afraid of being doxxed, and are starting to try to post more anonymously. This lessens the sense of community as people hide details like where they live, when they graduated ND, etc.

Meanwhile, NIL etc. will end up diminishing interest on the Footy... at least for those who cheer for the Irish for reasons other than the standard reasons people cheer for professional teams.
