Shortly after this forum was created in 2009, it was decided to sticky the NS World Cup: Presidential Announcements thread, on the basis that no other event was even close to matching the scale of the World Cup. This is no longer the case, and the World Cup should not be promoted over all other tournaments by having its announcements thread stickied.
Although the World Cup still attracts the most participating nations of any tournament, the Olympic Games are at least comparable in scale. Most importantly for this purpose, the Olympic Council is a larger voting body than the World Cup Committee, and the most recent (uncontested) vote to choose the host of the Olympic Games had a greater turnout than the most recent (uncontested) vote to choose the host of the World Cup, despite the latter being more prominently announced via a sticky. If the World Cup announcements thread remains a sticky, then at least the Olympic Games announcements thread should also be stickied. I think it would be best if no threads specific to a single event were given that privilege.
