The sports sector often gets carried away by the perceived 'power of sport' and its potential to 'change the world.' We are promoting a more critical narrative.

Shut. It. Down.

"The Olympics are an extreme intensifier of inequality: some people’s homes are razed to make space for temporary structures, while others rake in millions and live permanently at five-star hotels." https://t.co/6Dq4CdW8zo

The decision is respected and accepted? At the very least it should be supported.

[IOC MEDIA @iocmedia]

The IOC & the IPC were informed by the Japanese parties about their conclusion not to allow entry for overseas spectators for @Tokyo2020 . For the safety of Games participants and the Japanese people, this is respected and accepted by the IOC & the IPC. https://t.co/Nvp2oDDCBz

The full clip does in fact show the group and his friends congratulating the girl. The video fits the narrative though so who needs to understand the context

Unfortunately, the majority of leisure centres have lost their community roots in favour of the sanitised, corporate model with a very particular target group.

Is this an old fashioned view of a leisure centre?

[ChangetheNarrative @change_charter]

Shouldn't leisure centres have been invaluable assets throughout the pandemic?

Surely a good leisure centre should be totally embedded within their community?

They would be perfectly placed to disseminate key information to key groups...

[ChangetheNarrative @change_charter]

And, having established relationships with those who may need extra support, they could offer welfare calls and referrals to other services...

If leisure centres were like this, they wouldn't now be fighting for survival. Losing them just wouldn't be an option.

Let's waterboard pupils as well. If we're going to traumatize them, we may as well do it properly #JeremyVine

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

Should schools weigh pupils to make sure they shift the pounds they've put on during the lockdown?

Health experts want two weigh-ins in September and then in the spring to keep kids on track. But could this just create a generation of calorie counters? #JeremyVine

PE does more harm than good to a lot of young people. But questioning the cult is frowned upon so nothing has changed for decades despite £billions of investment.

[Jonathon @coffeemadman]

One way of reducing obesity? Reform PE classes so they aren’t a bastion of toxic masculinity that put so many off sports and exercise from a very young age.
