And little clubs like Brest that do make it, they shouldn't have to host Real Madrid at their neighbors place. UEFA should provide funds to get their stadiums ready for the occasion. You'd hope the tiny teams would be set for years from such a run

I think they should use their successful C1 formula to subsidize the europa and conference tournaments, make runs by clubs there more lucrative, make the competition more fierce, and also a better TV product

making luck a bigger part of the competition feels like solving income inequality by making gambling more accessible

More games was always going to result in less variance and more of the better/richer teams advancing. What did you expect

maybe in Quebec

The strike mainly affects the wealthy, since most of us can't afford $328 for a lift ticket, let alone pay for lodging in Park City. PC ski patrollers can't afford to live in Park City either, hence they're asking for a $2/hr raise.

How's the snow? Any impacts at DV from the strike and chaos next door?
