Social Motivators: The Year in Review (Part Eight)

As a university student in Toronto, and specifically at UTSC, I think it’s important to think about accomplishments in this past year. While there really aren’t that many at the local level worth thinking about that many outside would care about, one worth mentioning is the bid for the 2015 Pan-Am Games. On November 6, 2009, the victory in Toronto’s bid for the 2015 Pan-Am Games was announced at the party on Queen’s Quay. Mind you, I’m not much of a sports enthusiast, but to see an international sports event finally being held in one’s home city is exciting for a social enthusiast, especially since these events seem to bring countries together in a very unique way.

I don’t really have much more to say about this, so I’ll just add some links for you guys, and leave you with this question: Have you guys been to sporting events that operate on an international level? Is it worth holding them, in your opinion?
