Do I think the Olympics take a lot more investment than you necessarily get back? probably. But if like in London the athletes’ villages become housing, the permanent venues become open to the public and those that are collapsable become other things (I heard some in Rio will be taken and become school) then the…

“The MLB all-time stolen cake leader Rickey Henderson was unable to make it to New York for A-Rod’s final game” - BBC

You seem like a person who may be able to answer this for me: why doesn't the UK field a team? Or Great Britain or whatever; anything other than 4 different teams.

You could have been a speechwriter for George W.

Yeah they bought the ManU sponsorship the Asian market. No one cares about the UK market, for $600mn (what they paid ManU) Chevy could have bought Spurs and renamed them the “London Chevy’s” but then little kids in China wouldn’t run around chevy logos on their chest.

Just some of your basic mid 60’s Rock & Roll from The Dave Clark 5.

Why do football/soccer teams walk onto the pitch with a bunch of kids? I asked my co-worker once, he played on the Albanian team, and all I got was “tradition.” Also, his English is a bit not great.
