Matt Zerella posted:Olympics, and the World Cup have very native effects on poorer communities in the host areas. Between massive tax breaks (aka Public Wealth turned Private), displacement and gentrification to build new venues, and militarization of police and reduction of civil liberties (Brazil's crackdown on the Barrios as an example), it goes beyond "hey, i'll go watch the olympics on my lunch break, this is cool". Summer Olympics in developing countries, perhaps. Given that winter sports, by and large, are for rich(er) people and take place in already fairly expensive and developed places, I doubt the issues above are really a factor. I would say that Vancouver as a whole benefited from it. 2 new venues were built, one for speed skating, the other for curling. The Speed skating arena (Richmond Oval) is now an incredibly busy, multi-sport/community facility and the curling center got turned into a very popular aquatic facility.

I think the big thing for the Olympics is to have a solid plan for the buildings after the events are over. When Atlanta had theirs, they already knew what would happen to the housing, it would go to a local college (I think Georgia tech)

What's going on with the Devils? I haven't watched them much over the holiday, but I see they dropped five straight. Was expecting them to pick up, if anything, with Zajac back.

"I, however, am optimistic and feel good about the direction this team is going in, and the reason is Benning and Linden." "Have all their signings been perfect? No, but character is something that can be passed on." That last part is so perfect for the double meaning.

Actually it seems like literally every team that's been to a cup final, win or lose, since 2011 is doing miles better than Vancouver. It's not a model rebuild. Edit: every team since the 05 lockout really. Jamwad Hilder fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Jan 13, 2018 |

Also in the news that I may be blind and didn't see here Matt Murray is on "indefinite" personal leave and is up in Canada with his family. I have no idea what that is but it sounds scary. Like either a member of his family is sick or if he is having some of his own issues mentally.
