@hanuofr @BelangerFraiser @KIN110UofR It depends on what characteristics you are looking for. Physically, it shouldn't be considered a sport. However, there are some mental benefits that should be considered, so it can be a sport. Maybe not for the Olympics, but yes I think it is a sport in some ways.

The team is called Flamengo and there are almost 40 million fans around the world.

Here is a video that is not related to something that we discussed deeply, but it shows how fans cheer and support a team in Brazil. In my opinion, the right way of celebrating, without violence. @KIN110UofR #KIN1102019

We discussed violence in class and I found this article about MMA fighters who need to lose a lot of pounds in just a few time. In my opinion, it is violence against their bodies. What are your opinions on this topic? @KIN110UofR

@OlijnykTherese @KIN110UofR I'm not sure, but I think that if someone commits a crime influence by a crowd, his/her penal sentence can be shortened. If that's true, it might contribute for spectator violence.

[Jgnobile @jgnobile]

@hanuofr @KIN110UofR Sure, agree with you. I will read your tweet about sumo wrestlers. And what other sports do you think that do not benefit our body?

[Jgnobile @jgnobile]

@OlijnykTherese Also, the problem of being rewarded in this situation is that athletes will want to play even with serious injuries like that, and it against the new rule of FIFA. If any member of the medical team says that the player can not play, he needs to sub.

Something that we discussed in class about concussions happened in the 2014 World cup a few times. However, the one that a lot of people remember occurred on the final game with a German player, and he continued playing after his injury. #KIN11019

@OlijnykTherese Well, he wasn`t rewarded, actually he did`t remember what happened in the first half of the game. I understand that it was a serious injury, but I do understand his side. It was the final game, I guess I would do the same. What about you?

I watched this video today and it is related to what we have discussed this week. Actually I am speechless, what a wonderful commercial by Nike using its huge platform to send such an important message. #genderstereotypes #closingthegap

@CedarKatelynn @BrendanHerk @BriannaKin110 I agree that not one single athlete can change everything, but his role was very important. Sometimes before people achieve success they might fail in their tries. What is important is to keep going, because I am sure that he inspired a lot of people with his act. #Lab5KIN11019

@EastonJayse Winning is one of the best way to protest against something. I am not saying that it is the only way, but turning a victory into a political act is a very efficient argument against political and social problems. #Lab5KIN11019

[Jgnobile @jgnobile]

@salleh_aniza I agree with you when you say that politics does not stop while playing sports. Also, both can help each other. For example, Politics can help develop some sports, and sports are a way to spread some political thoughts, mainly when these thoughts are social issues. #Lab5KIN11019

[Jgnobile @jgnobile]

@KIN110UofR One example of politics involving sports was that two FIFA World Cups (1942 and 1946) did not happen because of the Second War. In this WC guide you can see that. #athletepolitician

@cochrane_kin110 There are several issues that people can focus on, but I think he chose one good example because a lot of people suffer from bullying, yet few people talk about about it. #Lab5KIN11019

[Jgnobile @jgnobile]

Bill Russell did a lot on and off the court. Inside he was an excellent player who won 11 championships. Outside he fought for civil rights and equallity. He was applauded for his acts and also won the Medal of Freedom.

@Bustariems LeBron James knows how to use his platform very well. Another case involving him was after a NYPD officer killed an unarmed man regarding to race issues. You can see here...

@KIN110UofR I know one Brazilian soccer player called Wendell Lira that won the Puskas award in 2015 and then retire from soccer to play professionalized video games. He also became and youtuber to teach how to play soccer games. #videogames

[Jgnobile @jgnobile]

@KIN110UofR It shows some interesting facts about social media, such as people engagement in the sports, relationship between media and sports organization, some benefits for athletes, and also some negative aspects
