@KIN110UofR On my basketball team, if we stayed someplace overnight it was the captains job to make sure the place was clean and orderly before we left (throwing out trash ect.) Has anyone seen this type of behaviour as opposed to hazing? #leadingbyexample #kin1102019

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@FaithJasper4 @KIN110UofR In my experience rookies chose jerseys last not because they were less than, but because the seniors got first choice cause they already had a number they wore and had seniority for putting in time with the team already. I saw it as rewarding people not punishing others.

@Hallie44063893 @KIN110UofR I think this can be true in all levels of sport as well. I haven’t witnessed any fist fights in my basketball career but In the heat of the game I’ve elbowed girls and been happy when I knocked girls down. Things that are very different from my normal behaviour #kin1102019

@BTippettKIN110 @JaredNoyes3 That’s an interesting idea. I think most people using PED are adults or at least old enough to aquire them themselves, but I wonder if any obsessed parents who use early specialization would push their child to dope. Does anyone know of any cases like this?

@Cowboy096 @jaxon64682205 @TylerLalonde34 This is a very unfortunate circumstance, but it would be unfair for them to have that advantage even it was just one player. To keep the game fair they would have to strip the team of their medals, although just the player using should be banned.

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@Cowboy096 @jaxon64682205 Yes I do think they should be banned and stripped of any medals they won. A person caught cheating on a test doesn’t get to keep the grade they received unfairly.

@FaithJasper4 @BarillaSarah I don’t think it is that simple, yes players don’t want the consequences but if they see their competitors doping and getting away with it, it might push them to do the same to reach the same level of athleticism. #Lab8KIN11019

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@tatiann86965177 I agree with you. I think when it comes out in the media with famous athletes, fans feel cheated too and it brings out an emotional response. Do you think doping is taken more seriously when it is a famous accomplished athlete vs an unknown athlete? #Lab8KIN11019

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@Cowboy096 I think that high level athletes such as olympians should be punished quite severely for using PED. They have insentive to use PED (winning), so there needs to be a big punishment to counteract that temptation. #Lab8KIN11019

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@NolanGasper @KIN110UofR Stricter punishments have been implemented from the World Anti-Doping Agency that came into effect this January. They increased the ban for athletes found doping from 2 years to 4. Do you think this will have an effect on athletes using PED’s? #Lab8KIN11019

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@JaredNoyes3 There will always be genetic differences, but those cannot be controlled. We cant police who is or isn’t allowed to use PED. If using PED becomes the norm in sports, will we see health issues go up in top athletes? #Lab8KIN11019

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@KaylaSt01686885 I agree with Jared about some athletes caring more about winning than their own health, espesically in pro sports. Lance Armstrong said that all the best cyclists were doping as well, so there was a need to dope to really be competitive #Lab8KIN11019

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@KaylaSt01686885 I don’t know how common doping is for lower level sports, but do you think it would be beneficial to educate students at a high school level about the negative health effects of PED? #Lab8KIN11019

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

It is very important to police the use of PED, and it will never be a lost cause as long as there remains some athletes against doping. The World Anti-Doping Agency doubled the ban for athletes found doping from 2 years to 4 to discourage doping #Lab8KIN11019

@KIN110UofR a new Adidas commercial promoting women in sport https://t.co/0vquupPosi #closingthegap #genderstereotypes #womeninleadership

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@SavageJayd @KIN110UofR To follow up on that, most sport reporters or announcers are white. Is it possible that this is something we are being fed by their perspective? Would we hear the opposite if we heard it from black reporters? #racism

@KIN110UofR This display was very disrespectful to the transgender community, and he clearly does not identify as a woman. Is there any merit to his point or can we disregard this because of the completely inauthentic context?

[Grace Geradts @GeradtsGrace]

@KIN110UofR https://t.co/h3i9P9Fa7G a man briefly “identified” as a woman to beat the female deadlifting record and go back to being a man. He was trying to prove a point about trans female athletes having a physical advantage. #sextesting

@Jonatha04261250 @nonstopnibs @KIN110UofR I think that sex differences are more prominent after puberty, but before that there should be no segregation. I played football and soccer with my male classmates in elementary school and was not physically disadvantaged. I was however the only girl who would play with them.
