Media exposure can greatly enhance the popularity of specific sports by giving them a wider platform. Major events such as the Olympics, World Cup, and Super Bowl are broadcast worldwide, drawing in large audiences and elevating the visibility of the sport. @KIN110UofR
Just like Adidas, Puma pioneered Environmental Profit & Loss (EP&L) accounting in 2011, which assigns a monetary value to the "services" nature provides to the business, such as fresh water and clean air. Do you know any other companies that did something similar? @KIN110UofR
@KIN110UofR I remember in grade 11 when I had a virus in my body and couldn’t participate in any sport for like a year which was sad for me because I really wanted to try everything. Has your health ever made you back out on participating in sports?
@JasminFlaman@KIN110UofR In my case not sport in general but i remember working out in my high school gym and passed out and till this day the doctors still don’t know what’s wrong… I’ve passed out over 3 times and all I keep getting told is that “things are sometimes too small to see and sort out.”
@CeannaF24@KIN110UofR I feel like The government should aim for a balanced approach, ensuring both elite athletes and recreational sports programs receive appropriate funding. In doing so, elite athletes can inspire national pride while recreational sports can promote community well-being.
@KIN110UofR The Rio Media Center was a temporary facility built for the use of the 2016 Olympics. “The 27,000 square meter Main Press Centre was a hub for broadcasters during the games. After the games, the media center was dismantled and became a health hazard.” (Google, N.d).
Why do athletes hide their injuries to keep playing? Well, it’s because of the fear of losing their career, endorsement, or team position, this can often lead them to minimize significant health consequences/ concerns. #KIN110UoR
Violence in sport isn’t just merely “part of the game.” It’s often rooted in the cultures that glorifies aggression and toughness. This phenomenon can be seen in various sports where physical confrontations are not only tolerated but sometimes high glorified. #Kin110UoR
Deviance in sports frequently stems from the pressure to win, gain fame, and secure financial rewards. Athletes may disregard rules or take significant risks because of the expectations they face.
Are there any athletes you know that may have done this? #sportsculture#KIN110UofR
@chloforddrake@KIN110UofR Most times it’s due to mental toughness. Where athletes believe in “playing through the pain” as a sign of strength, determination and dedication to their sport.
@KIN110UofR This is a short YouTube video showcasing how the sporting world has become more inclusive to different races, ethnicities and backgrounds.

@KIN110UofR Playing sports has become extremely expensive, from paying to play the sport to paying for the equipment used to play the sport. For example, hockey parents are required to pay an average cost of 600 or more for basic equipment. #KIN110UofR
@KIN110UofR One way to improve youth sports is to enable parental involvement, encouraging positive parental participation to help create a more supportive atmosphere for young athletes. This can help them focus more on enjoying the sport rather than mainly focusing on performance.
@KIN110UofR Sport is a physical activity that often involves competing against others to achieve a goal or prove a point. These games are controlled by a set of rules to enforce a fair sporting ground for all. #KIN110UofR
