@Abby63230033 @KIN110UofR Obviously not a sport example, but ww1 has a heavy impact on development of Canadian identity.

I think about this quote in regards to violence sometimes having a purpose.

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

@Abby63230033 @KIN110UofR It's important to remember that not all sports are violent and yet they still entertain. The 100 m dash draws millions of viewers during the Olympics and contains no body contact whatsoever.

Golf as well.

@Caitlyn35608060 @KIN110UofR In Olympics, stripping someone of medals is easy. But in team sports it's often more difficult.

Barry bonds likely had a hall of fame career before he transformed his body using PEDs and set his records.

Do you think he should be allowed into the baseball Hall of fame?

@JuanVar62551361 @KIN110UofR Healthier sports programs have vets doing more. They should show the first years how to get practice ready, fill bottles etc.

Having younger kids do it breeds comptempt, with everyone waiting "for my turn not have to do all the work". Sustainable programs lead through example

My favourite media representation of violence in sports is Happy Gilmore.

Combining the violence of a hockey mentality with the calm sport of golf seems ridiculous and funny. But shows the difference b/w sports.

@Abby63230033 @KIN110UofR Towards players on the opposing team or opposing fans.

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

@Abby63230033 @KIN110UofR Perhaps the best part of sports is that it temporarily unites thousands of people for a cause. However, having thousands of screaming fans can cause tensions to reach dangerous levels.

Mob mentality becomes dangerous only when crowds begin to normalize wishing harm....

@NoahSorrell4 @KIN110UofR It's amazing that you can not win a CFL award, but play and help your team win a grey cup!

He was the grey cup mvp! Why let him win that award if you aren't going to even consider him for others

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

@Caitlyn35608060 @KIN110UofR Even within the city, transportation can limit participation. Hockey sometimes requires people to drive all over regina, a much tougher task if you take the bus as a primary mode of transport.

There is a reason why we imagine hockey parents with minivans and not bus passes

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

Although this has an extremely small sample size....

I would reason that social media allows a small minority of people speak loudly, and over represent their point of view

But, of course, that is just my theory.

Do you think Don Cherry would have been fired if he had apologized and explained his comments the day after?

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

The thing that interests me most about this poll is the engagement.
The poll shows the majority of people think an apology could have saved Don.

However, the majority of the *comments* below the poll would suggest the opposite.

@KIN110UofR I would love to see more coaching programs at grassroots youth levels of sports. If females are coaching younger players while still in highschool, they are more likely to pursue a career that involves leadership in sport.

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

Seeing costumes today was an interesting chance to examine masculinity/femininity. People expressed themselves in many ways, but as day care children walked around the university, nearly all were conforming to sterotypical gender norms @KIN110UofR

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

@KIN110UofR Recreation places.

Although the program is undeniably good for the winner, it represents how little investment has been made in this area.

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

@KIN110UofR Recreational Infrastructure plays a huge part in how communites move and play. However, maintaining these facilities often isn't a priority for local, prov, And fed govt.

The kraft project play is a fantastic example of the number of communities who need money to upgrade

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

@KIN110UofR Volleyball has similar aspects to many popular sports, such as basketball (high scoring, quick intervals, popular in highschool and college athletics) but has never caught on at an elite level. Perhaps this may have to do with how it is covered, focusing only during Olympics

[Kalen Senecalkin110 @senecalkin110]

@KIN110UofR Volleyball has never reached a mainstream audience in North America, and you'll almost never see it on a major sports Network.

A short podcast, called the hottest take, semi jokingly explored why this is

@KIN110UofR Leagues are always trying to adopt and brand themselves with a certain public image. The MLB released this video, editing and contrasting two eras of ball, showing how the MLB has changed.

And you know what? The video they made is pretty cool.
