#JRNL3804 Although this article doesn't exactly pertain to sport, it does relate to communication. In order to combat the spread of the virus, Panama's lockdown consisted of the separation of the sexes. https://t.co/HJjdz8jiaL
@KyleTorre3 Hey Kyle! Your tweet seems to be right on trend with what the rest of the world is doing right now. It seems like all sports have been categorized as "pending," so to speak. This is such an unknown time and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for sports. #JRNL3804
As with most of the world, sports betting is the most common form of gambling in Myanmar. Something I found interesting is it is legal for tourists to bet on sports, but it is illegal for Myanmar residents. #JRNL3804 https://t.co/wkkMEngpG9
@BrooksKarlin Hey Karlin! Your comments on the article are very interesting and insightful. It's crazy how much the government is involved in sports in places like China. This is all very interesting, but not shocking in my opinion, due to the strict rules of China in gov. #JRNL3804
@Emily15196646 Hey Emily! Wow, I totally agree with you, that is crazy considering everything that Italy, and the rest of the world, is facing right now. But for many, soccer is their everything, even with the pandemic going on; however, this is a time requiring empathy for others. #JRNL3804
The first organized event to address sustainability was held in Buenos Aires. Single-use plastic utensils were avoided as much as possible and leftovers were sent to a local charity, Caritas, to combat poverty #JRNL3804

@NicholasMartin The Corona Virus outbreak is forcing the fan culture to essentially disappear for the time being. We definitely saw this with Japan last week, and I'm sure it won't be long before Spain is playing games in empty stadiums. #JRNL3804

Spain's tradition of bullfighting is facing the possibility of extinction. The majority of the population no longer sees a reason to make an animal suffer in order to uphold Spanish tradition. #JRNL3804
@EmilyLeePR Hey! My article pertained to the same topic of discussion. It makes sense that war has been the only cause of cancellation for the games, but with the Corona virus escalating, it will be interesting to see what the IOC's decision in May will be. #JRNL3804

https://t.co/itYe3LIks0 Recent news has brought in to speculation the possibility of the Olympic Games being canceled due to the corona virus outbreak. The IOC continues to push for the Olympic Games, while Japan's Prime Minister poses pushing back the games.
https://t.co/SPNmq3Xv40. Wilder blamed the weight of his tribute to black history month costume for hindering his ability to fight Fury with full strength. Interesting how this is the topic of discussion instead of Fury's sexist throne he entered on. #raceinsports#JRNL3804
@JjZykan Hey JJ! The article mentions several times how sports boost confidence, however, to this day women are not recognized in sport. Imagine how being involved in sport could boost the confidence of a young girl going through puberty. It reminds me of the always ad. #JRNL3804
The article I picked for this week focuses on Namibian "spinning" which is akin to car racing on a dirt track in its simplest from. This article looks at women who take up spinning and the ways in which it is important to them. #JRNL3804

@nick_hartung I find this article so fascinating. Who knew that darts was a professional sport? The fact that this sport is so intense is an incentive for me to watch. I may have to check it out! Great article, very interesting and entertaining. #JRNL3804
I picked an article that is exclusively unique to Ireland. The article explains the sport "Hurling," which is often compared to hockey. #JRNL3804

@robpaek1 Hey Robert! I love this article. It is absolutely inspiring to see pro athletes wanting to give back and support their homeland. When Hurricane Katrina hit, I thought it was so admirable for Drew Brees to heavily help and I think it is so cool to see this globally. #JRNL3804
With the horrific tragedy of Kobe Bryant's death, this article exhibits how communication through sport can truly go beyond borders to inspire and bring us all together. #JRNL3804

@JjZykan I like that we are seeing a push for sports to be involved in India's school curricula. Hopefully the fact that many sports icons are pushing for this, sports will be adapted into school curriculum. We get trapped in our own U.S. bubble and we forget how lucky we are. #JRNL3804
In terms of sport regulation, as we read about in week 1, this short article illustrates how truly unrestricted American athletes and fans are compared to the rest of the world.
