Now is the time to stick not twist. The long-term future of Cork football depends on it.

Six months out from an American general election, the two major political parties are required to form transition teams. This legal requirement forces both candidates into as smooth a transition into government as possible, irrespective of who wins the race.

In 2016, Donald Trump did not want to appoint a transition team. That would have required setting aside some money that could have been otherwise used for all-important political advertising. The law forced him to anyway. In November of that year, the day after Trump was elected, he unceremoniously fired his entire transition team, token as it may have been. In his book, The Fifth Risk, Michael Lewis describes brilliantly how this made for the most chaotic and dangerous situation the superpower had ever known.
