I will repost this on amateursport.com with your kind permission (or not!).<br /><br />These developments, all in the name of high ideals, should be of concern to Canadians.<br /><br />There is much more behind the scenes. Athletes are pushed to fund themselves as a shining example of voluntarism. Look at Trudeau's message. It is neo-liberalism. CBC et al then heroize them for a brief period, promoting a modern variant of Reagan's "trickle down" theory: their examples in competition as an inspiration to encourage participation in sport by youth. The social responsibility of the state for sport and recreation is thrown out the window, and the severe cutbacks in social funds is justified. <br /><br />Especially since Harper, the role of the state is decried to be one of handing over funds to fund those programs and athletes designated as "winners." These programs are instruments of the rich.<br /><br />Own The Podium deserves investigation and exposure in this regard. The federal government has privatized sport to private capital, to the extent that the self-serving "Own The Podium" is selecting those athletes to be supported by public funds according to its own criteria, winning is everything, the only thing. OWN THE PODIUM? What happened to the idea that participating in the Olympics is itself a huge achievement? Sporting ethics seem alien to the Canadian Olympic Committee, and its parent International Olympic Committee. If they were allowed to, those people would sell to the highest bidder the right to carve a company logo into that marble slab in Olympia.<br /><br />The media uses them to create a brand as a marketing tool for the sponsoring corporations. These athletes more and more include Americans with only the remotest connection with Canada who are bing recruited through On The Podium (and, for example, Swim Canada, Athletics Canada) as a matter of official policy sanctioned by the COC.<br /><br />The popularization of sport in poor countries is left to Right to Play, a voluntary NGO, an initiative of athletes and funded through contributions from the public.<br /><br />To Peter Bursztyn’s interesting letter, in contrast to crowdfunding or posing nude for fund-raising calendars, the rowing team reportedly received $17 million since London 2012. I think the question is more than where the money goes. How are private interests served? The excellent Rugby Sevens Women's team received $6 million? Who benefits?<br /><br />Tony Seed<br /><br />FYI<br /><br />https://amateursport.wordpress.com/2010/02/27/own-the-podium-%E2%80%93-a-negation-of-the-spirit-of-friendship-and-solidarity/<br /><br />https://amateursport.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/canada-group-makes-medals-its-business/<br /><br />https://amateursport.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/for-your-information-gold-doesn%E2%80%99t-come-cheap/Tony Seedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253744798245876925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732335530726828393.post-10235046494494488862016-08-19T11:47:07.072-04:002016-08-19T11:47:07.072-04:00Posted at the request of Peter Bursztyn:
As a rec...Posted at the request of Peter Bursztyn:<br /><br />As a recreational rower, I (and thousands of other recreational rowers) pay $25/year to Rowing Canada for “something”. Goodness knows what!<br /><br />I have also been a Rowing Canada umpire for well over 20 years, and my interaction with Rowing Canada has been . . . well actually I have no interaction with them. They rarely communicate with me. <br /><br />I don’t even know from them how many years I have been an umpire or whether I am due for a re-test. The Ontario Rowing Association does this.<br /><br />This year Rowing Canada decided to cut the man’s 8 from the rowing lineup so they could instead send a 4 and a quad. Neither of these did particularly well. <br /><br />In fact, our showing in rowing – once a point of pride for Canada – has been “disapopointing”. So I certainly do not know where the money goes . . . <br /><br />Peter Bursztyn<br />Barrie Rowing Club<br />Barrie, Ontario<br />Nick Fillmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164453733837765836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732335530726828393.post-53909944360675179692016-08-19T11:36:25.778-04:002016-08-19T11:36:25.778-04:00Very good article Nick.
