@ClarkTheresa443 @KIN110UofR @KIN110UofR I feel as though there is a large impact on sport due to global warming due to environmental factors such as a lack of or excess of snow in sports like skiing

Coaches tend to have an insane amount of power in professional sport. They decide who plays and who doesn’t, what drills are performed, and how a team is run. All of this power can be both positive and negative on players.

Media is vital to most sports, with commercial breaks being popular in football and hockey, but not soccer. Although this may lose companies money, fifa refuses to add commercial breaks into games, leaving many fans happy.

Although violence is deemed as a form of deviance in most sports, it is normalized in some (hockey, football). Violence between players in understandable, but not in spectators or fans. Unfortunately, studies show that after a soccer game loss…. (Thread)

[Declan Clayards @DClayards18199]

Deviance in sport is very common, and often is what makes it interesting. An example of deviance (specifically tolerable deviance) could be watching NASCAR Vs. Normal people. One is entertaining when fast and speed is encouraged, the other Is illegal

Sports such as golf, tennis, and cheerleading are all examples of a difference in clothing due to gender norms. (Women wearing skirts, men wearing shorts)

Harry Jerome was a black athlete out of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, that held the world record for fastest 100m in a mind blowing 10 seconds flat. He faced not only racial discrimination, but a career threatening injury, pushing through all barriers to become one of the best.

Although the sports I play are relatively inexpensive, some sports, such as hockey, can cost thousands of dollars!
According to https://t.co/8IZpBH7KcJ, it can cost thousands just for the equipment required to play, unlike soccer, which only needs a ball

Some sports, such as wrestling and boxing use weight classes to determine match-ups, which help ensure an even match, but also encourage young children to diet and stop eating completely to cut weight. I feel that if weight classes were… (word count)

[Declan Clayards @DClayards18199]

I feel that if weight classes were more lenient and match-ups were also judged on skill, more even and safer matches could be lined up. There were numerous times where I had to go days eating almost nothing or only water in order to drop down to an ideal weight for wrestling.

As a child, I grew up on metal and plastic playground with soft ground. I feel as though the metal playground taught me to be more cautious and self aware of my actions. I think children need to learn how to fall to succeed.
