well... let's no go there. not another argument in semantics, please.

'sport' in the very loose definition... but that definition means almost nothing, because almost any activity can be classed as a sport

exactly. it doesn't matter what you call it - for people, who simply watch stuff on tv hokey doesn't differ all that much from starcraft.

yeah. if taxed and otherwise well executed. hence my "if they aim for it" comment.

Taking money in, in the form of foreign capital. Yes it's an economic win locally.

Major sporting events are an immediate economic boost.. and yea, the sustainability is left up to how it is handled locally.

the thing is the intention and the point behind classifying it as a sport... to what end?

i get the feeling mutantbear is just making the stake because he's a sad geeky fuck

not because he has a valid qualification to make

well, i'll tell you what - if this site is still up till after a coupla years after sochi games and we are both still bored enough to log in, i'll post some pics of what sochi will have become then - my brother visits there yearly - and you'll see for yourself. the whole event, nobody here doubts it, is one huge money grab. no investments, no real infrastructure development, nothing like that has ever crossed their minds.

I'm talking about placing their tournament in a country that does not plan with infrastructure, investments... or that it doesn't even cross their minds.
