2010 Winter Olympics

Post by El Rhino » Fri Feb 12, 2010 9:33 pm

So it starts off on a shitty note when Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili dies in the final practice round. They showed the video a few times on the news, pretty fucked up. The dude hit the post going 90 mph.


Anyways, looking forward to hockey and the skiing events are pretty cool. Figure skating is gay but speed skating is kind of interesting.

Don't we have a real good speed skater compeating this year?
The life we lead, so pure to me
The strength we built, true honesty
Our loyalty we won't betray
Our roots so strong, they'll never fade

Hockey is all I care about. Personally not holding out much hope for the US team this year, the guy running the team for us is a dick and is picking players based on who will kiss his ass instead of talent.

Outside of Kane there's isn't a real bright spot when it comes to scoring. When it comes to forwards the US is just better at producing power forwards,playmakers, and grinders than they are goal scorers.

Our defensive core is strong. Goaltending isn't bad. Ryan Miller is having a decent season and while Tim Thomas isn't doing as well as he did last year most players seem to find their ways out of the rut when it comes time for the Olympic games.

if you can't understand why the olympics are bad for local communities(especially indigenous ones), then it's you who is the idiot.

perhaps it'd be better if we were all as apathetic as you--not giving a shit about anything, ever. you're a joke.

Yeah but you writing this on a laptop at Starbucks isn't a joke.



I heard the USA vs. Canada hockey game will NOT be televised? I'm guessing that's the beginning of the end of the Winter Olympics.

Yeah, they seem pretty stoked about Bilodeau getting the gold in Men's Moguls, especially after Hamelin's disappointing performance in short track. The Canadian (or "Canadien" to appease Francophone sensibilities) fans didn't quite take to the streets like Oakland Raiders fans or anything, but a passionate display nonetheless.

He's right, you know. The huge surge in the local economy from spectators coupled with the massive infrastructure improvements and enhanced civic/regional/national prestige that comes with hosting an Olympic event comes at a cost of booting the panhandlers and vagrants out of selected areas. Totally not worth it! And the indigenous peoples? Oh man... They get a plethora of people to peddle their beads and trinkets to as well as other employment in economically disenfranchised areas but the Olympic people set up shop for a whole couple of weeks! I really feel for Vancouver and Rio de Janiero in 2012 for drawing the shortest straw...especially the slum dwellers of Rio and the indigenous people in the Amazon regions who will undoubtedly get hit the hardest.

O dang!



I would like to know how @dam sleeps at night knowing he is conducting business on lands stolen from indigenous people. Way to gain economically from genocide. Go rent out movies (some even filmed on stolen lands) to other palefaces back in Europe, murderer!

Hey hey, ho ho! BPE has got to go! Hey hey, ho ho! BPE has got to go! No imperialist genocidal rentals! No imperialist genocidal rentals!
