@spjones12@KIN110UofR Yes I completely agree. Knowing the long term effects injuries can have on an individual and their loved ones, I think there should be bigger fines and stricter rules against violence to minimize that #KIN1102019
From today’s topic; what do you guys think would happen if organizations put bigger fines on violence in games. Do you think spectators would be upset knowing that part of the excitement of games is the violence and would it reflect ticket sales and revenue? #KIN1102019
@spjones12 Oh wow ya that’s good they got fined that much! So what do you think the barrier is for not implementing bigger fines and more rules around violence in sport? #KIN1102019
@reese_rutko @KIN110UofR Yes I completely agree! What do you think would be a fair penalty/fine for players that hit from behind or any other intentional violence to reduce the amount of dirty play that goes on?
@reese_rutko @KIN110UofR I do love going to hockey games and seeing fights, to me it brings up the level of excitement. However I don’t like watching players that are dirty and do dangerous hitting such as hitting from behind and intentional violence!
@adorkwart @KIN110UofR Yes I have heard that before! I grew up playing ringette which was often seen as deviant because anytime I would explain to someone what ringette was, they would ask why I didn’t just play hockey because that was the ‘normal’ thing to do. #KIN1102019
@KIN110UofR Since we were talking about deviance in class this week; have you guys participated in a sport or activity that may be seen as deviant? If yes, what activity/sport was it and why was it seen as deviant? #KIN1102019
@KIN110UofR in class we talked about what is expected in society and what isn’t. Regarding sports, what are your guys thoughts on male dancers, has it now become normalized or do you think society still sees that as ‘out of the norm’? #KIN1102019
@KIN110UofR Racism is a big topic in today��s sport culture. For example, if a white male wins a gold medal, he is seen for his determination, and effort to be able to win. Whereas if a black athlete male were to win a gold medal, people only think it’s due to his genetics. #racism
@KIN110UofR Studies have shown that the generation of children now are expected to live shorter lives than the parents due to the consumption of sugar and high rates of obesity. I think the government needs to make a change so that we can change the statistics in the future #sugartax
@KIN110UofR Generally sports channels are more focused on male pro sports rather than female pro sport. Do you think it’s because the male sporting events seem more eventful for the views? Why do you guys think men is more of a focus? #disproportionalcoverage
@ByeRhys @KIN110UofR I think merchandising should go to the funding as well. Like we discussed in class today, often people pay for the experience rather than the sport itself. In order to get that experience, organizations need to funding to make it a better experience and environment
@KIN110UofR#KIN1102019 In my opinion, even though I love watching sports; I go to big sporting events and pay the money for the experience and the environment. In order to have that certain experience everyone wants when going to an event; teams need the funding #globalization
@zoha_m_ I do agree that technology isn’t always a bad thing. With the children now becoming so advanced with it; in the future that’s what the generation is going to excel at. So if parents don’t allow there kids on technology; you may be limiting them in the future. #Lab2KIN11019
Now a days parents have to set a time limit on technology in order to get there kids playing in informal activities. Due to technology becoming more addictive to younger children my question to everyone is: did you have a screen time limit for technology growing up? #Lab2KIN11019
@Princes06650386 @KyleNakonechny Yes I do. Nowadays children are spending more time on technology while drinking sugary drinks or junk food which is why there is an obesity epidemic right now and it will continue to rise unless we educate people on getting children to do more informal activities #Lab2KIN11019
@JaredNoyes3 Yes I know with technology quickly advancing; kids are spending majority of time on electronics. That is why the generation of kids now are suspected to live shorter than their parents. I think that’s why it is so important to get kids involved in informal sport #Lab2KIN11019
@Jeanettekin110 Yes I was the same way! I actually never got a cell phone until grade 9, so for me I never wanted to sit at home watching tv; I always wanted to either be in sports or playing informal activities with friends so my parents never had to give me a screen time limit. #Lab2KIN11019
An example of an informal activity would be grounders on a play structure. Kids use there imaginations and create rules/obstacles to make the game more fun. I loved playing grounders as a kid, what is an example of informal activities everyone else enjoyed doing? #Lab2KIN11019
