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.

Sharks Eat Bear posted:Malkin got a $5K fine, Brown got a $10K fine, and has a hearing today. Apparently Schultz got cleared after getting checked out for a concussion, so I expect Brown will get... 2 games With his history,, he should get 4-5.

Jamwad Hilder posted:I know I'm a Bruins fan and inherently biased but 5 seems like a lot for Marchand compared to some of the decisions DOPS has made lately. I was expecting 2 or 3 at most. It bothers me that there's no consistency. If you watch the DoPS video, it's clear that he saw Johansson and tried to 'defend himself' (by elbowing him in the face). Given his history, 5 is probably about on the low side.
