@thomson_kaiden@KIN110UofR I feel like the cost really depends for many people if they should attend in person or not. Another factor I think plays a big role is the impact the team or player may have on the individual. @thomson_kaiden@KIN110UofR
@KIN110UofR Mercedes-Benz Stadium is leading 5 most sustainable sports venues. Using 4,000 rooftop solar panels energy consumption is 29 percent less than what the average stadium consumes. Stormwater management system, uses 47 percent less water than the standard for stadiums.
@KIN110UofR areas of standing water could be found inside and outside of the former official and training pools in Rio from Olympics in 2017, making them high risk areas for the mosquitoes that carry dengue fever and Zika virus. A judge closed this pool in Brazil in 2020.
@caleb_akinade@KIN110UofR I think that the athletes portrayal in media can be both impacted negatively and positively. It can give them confidence seeing others look up to them, but on the other hand can destroy their confidence seeing as though people do not like the athlete. @KIN110UofR@caleb_akinade
@KIN110UofR 2022 world cup held in Qatar posed many problems dealing with government policies of human rights violations. Politics and sport mix by making it a bigger problem, with larger audiences being reached and fans enraged against the government. https://t.co/SO1LoGG2tK
@KIN110UofR athletes should all be funded and helped by the government but to what extent is hard to say. Without the proper funding of elite athletes, they can not excel, but without funding for rec programs kids can not be active. where do we draw the line?
@JasminFlaman@KIN110UofR because of sports, I have developed knee problem that has caused me knee pain throughout my life, making it difficult to walk after playing soccer.@jasminflaman@KIN110UofR
@KIN110UofR Media is a key role in deciding which sports get the most attention, shaping how the public perceives sports/athletes, and setting the overall tone of sports coverage. Should less-advertised sports become more mainstream or will it not change how many people watch it?
@RoriArmitage25@KIN110UofR@RoriArmitage25@KIN110UofR I believe that no matter the refs decisions, right or wrong they should feel safe on the field to do their job. Complaints can always be made to the official office but should never escalate to physical fights on the pitch.
@KIN110UofR Chris Kramer a German soccer player sustained a head injury in a world cup game, and continued to play for 14 minutes before collapsing to the ground. Despite the rules he still decided to play, should he have sat out? should the rules change?

@KIN110uofR This explores the ongoing debate over whether graffiti should be considered art or vandalism. Graffiti is also considered a sport to some, but what defines it? is this an act of deviance, if so what kind?

@KIN110UofR This report implies that girls between the ages of 6-18 have much higher drop out rates than boys in sports, caused by the lack of opportunities for girls as well as how they are treated in the world of sports. what can we do to change it?https://t.co/4pZODNv9kF
@RoriArmitage25@KIN110UofR I agree Rori, we should be able to have more income-friendly options for kids to play a sport, even if its more competitive or just leisurely.
@RileyR76322@RoriArmitage25@KIN110UofR I agree Riley, but some kids may feel they need that-push to continue to do well in their sport, to an extent I agree but having an extra nudge helps an athlete, in my opinion.
@KIN110UofR@KIN110UofR this Huskies post highlights 3 Black athletes who talk about inclusion in their sport and hopes they have for the future of the Huskies athletics program. They all hope to inspire the younger generation of black athletes to pursue their goals

@KIN110UofR@KIN110UofR Participating in the sport tennis requires many fees including renting courts, paying for lessons (private and group), and purchasing the tennis racquets and other equipment. This is a harder sport for lower-income families to participate in because of the high cost.
@KIN110UofR@KIN110UofR What are examples of improvements to youth sport that can address this problem? I think that if we gave more opportunities to less fortunate kids to be able to experience sports it will help the overall statistics of the dropout rate as well as the kids wellbeing.
@KIN110UofR@KIN110UofR growing up, I had a wooden playground with a metal slide, a merry-go-round and a teeter-totter that went at least 4 feet off the ground in each direction. Not until 2017 was the wooden playground taken away for a swing set that was up to date on all safety measures.
