Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

[thene]

I was responding to anon's comment claiming that sports help the economy. If you think it's a bizarre topic I suggest you reply to them, not me. But sports teams are not universally profitable, and they benefit hugely on the downside from government support and other subsidies - they're rarely allowed to carry their own losses.

But yeah, sports would be a lot less messed up and a lot less open to criticism without the subsidies - from governments, from cable bundling, or from universities. Then we'd get to find out how many of them are really profitable or even solvent.

Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

Okay cool.

I think it depends hugely on which sport. But I think sports in general would still survive, it would just look different - ranging from shrinking dramatically in terms of resources in NCAA football, to not changing much at all in the case of the NBA. In something like MLB or NFL, the changes would mostly be somewhat smaller contracts, especially at the top end.

Like I said above, I think it's a matter of reform, not of getting rid of the thing entirely.

Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

[(Anonymous)]

I think the problem isn't that they wouldn't be profitable or capable of solvency; it's that subsidies have allowed for the inflation of costs, particularly those surrounding player and coach salaries. I think said salaries would see a huge reduction if subsidies were eliminated. And I personally would welcome said reduction.
