Default NET Angular Momentum of Globular cluster of stars

Is the NET angular momentum of a globular cluster of stars, zero?

e.g. Omega Centauri or M13 for example.

Is the NET angular momentum of an elliptical galaxy and or the
central bulge of a spiral, zero or close to zero..........oblate
spheroids might have a net angular momentum if the oblate geometry
is due to rotation in a single direction. But if it's due to net
rotation 50 / 50 in two opposite directions, again, there would be
no net angular momentum, right?

[[Mod. note -- I think the answers are Yes (or very close to zero),
Yes, and Yes (respectively). -- jt]]
