Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

[(Anonymous)]

But that article is just about how much American consumers give to sports leagues via advertising if they have and use certain sports channels on cable/satellite. Of course it phrases it as the leagues getting every possible cent from each subscriber, so it's grossly overinflated.

It says nothing about the impact on the local, regional, and national economies of the places where sporting events take place.

Do you want me to dig up more information on sports subsidies, stadium deals, university sports budgets, etc, for you, or would you rather google that yourself?

Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

[(Anonymous)]

You should dig them up for yourself because clearly you have limited knowledge of how major sports events impact economies. Hint: any country hosting either the summer or winter olympics takes in more money during the olympics than they pay out preparing for them.

Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

... at the expense of (usually lower-income) people living in the neighborhoods that get razed to make room for Olympics complexes.

Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

That's funny, according to this article most Olypmic host cities lose money on the deal. Oh, and this article. And this one.

Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

[mekkio]

One event does not make the entire world of sports a money pit.

Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

Then let's stop throwing public money into it and see what happens.

Derailing a bit, but the way money has injected itself in sports is really annoying. In football (or soccer, however you want to call it), it's all about multi-million deals to get so and so, and professional team sports are starting to be "whoever has the most money wins because they can pay outrageous amounts of money for athletes". There's a huge gap between team sports played by kids in the playground and professional team sports, and it's only getting huger with each passing year.

Rugby has started to be a bit hit by this but so far, not too much. *clutches rugby*
