@KIN110UofR This article says a lot about how the environment is affecting sports all around the world, and giving examples on many times it has done so. For example, the 2020 Australian open faced major air quality issues from wildfires, etc. https://t.co/5ldrm7Knfv

@KIN110UofR Has the weather ever impacted your sport? If so, how?

[rylie @ryliebenson19]

@KIN110UofR From weather conditions to air quality, the environment plays a huge role in sports. Rain can change football, baseball, etc. games, while wind does that same. Global warming is affecting us in more ways than we think. 🌍🏈 #stopglobalwarming

@RoriArmitage25 @KIN110UofR I think that it is extremely important for companies to help as it is considered a simple act of kindness, and even the smallest acts are helpful. We cannot control nature, but we can control how we adapt

[rylie @ryliebenson19]

@CeannaF24 @ClarkTheresa443 @KIN110UofR I very much agree with this! All though global warming has had d huge impact on our world, we are lucky that it hasn’t impacted sport more.

Do you think if less advertised sports were covered just as much as hockey let’s say, would they eventually become popular like hockey is?

[rylie @ryliebenson19]

@KIN110UofR Media plays a huge role in who pays attention to what. As hockey is very often broadcasted, it is very popular. But I wonder, if a less advertised sport, randomly stared being covered just as much as hockey, would it eventually become almost as popular?

[rylie @ryliebenson19]

@Myap12345 @KIN110UofR I think that more people would watch less-advertised sports if they were covered more. They would be forced on peoples tv’s. Scrolling through channels, these sports would catch peoples eye and the more eyes the sport/media catches, the more popular the sport would become.

@Dylan_Paskiw @KIN110UofR Hazing can be a very tricky topic. On one hand it can help a team bond, but on the other, it can also negatively impact a team, as people can be hurt or embarrassed in the process. That being said, I do agree that it depends on the context, but respect should always come first.

@KIN110UofR Injuries are a harsh reality in sports, for athletes they are seen as a battle between mental toughness and physical strength. Which side do you think is harder to overcome, the mental or physical side and why? #injurydebate #mindorbody?

@KIN110UofR Following up on this, the previous year, CRC’s were in Regina, where we included the French speaking crowd, and had spoken every part of the presentations in both English and French. It almost felt like we were being left in the dark this year in NB. @KIN110UofR

@KIN110UofR Pt. 1.
The 2024 National Ringette Championships were in Dieppe, New Brunswick, which is a predominantly French speaking community. The ceremonies were presented in French with very slight English translation, which made it difficult for the majority to understand. @KIN110UofR

@KIN110UofR The cost of sport is insane. When it comes to playing sport, you need to pay for tryouts, pay for equipment, tournaments, team fees, etc. and it all ads up. Even just to watch sports online, you need to pay like $200 to watch hockey for the year. #tooexpensive @KIN110UofR

@KIN110UofR All the old play grounds were where the fun was at. I think that the new play grounds are now more for younger children, and they don’t appeal to the older children as much as they used to. I think they also taught kids to be more careful. #bringbackthemetalslides @KIN110UofR

@KIN110UofR I have found this article by the National Library of Medicine. It underlines how women’s sport has been highly overlooked and ignored. But now we are taking many more “gender responsive” approaches to invest more in women’s sport. https://t.co/plZB2tJIF7

@KIN110UofR Sports do not have a hard line definition. Society very much influences what is identified as sport. If hockey was never recognized the way it was, it probably wouldn’t be named as Canada’s national sport. Opinions widely differ, therefore there is not one to decide. #KIN110week1
