@vantine1937 hey guys! I’m the organization, Iota Gamma Upsilon, and we have been trying to get our composite done with you guys for a while but no one has answered. Please answer us 😃
It's interesting to see there was female participation from the start in the Paralympics but not in many other aspects of sports. Women should always be allowed to participate in sports, it's sad that the issue of women in sport has fallen less important. @AlexEbner8#sport200
ShePowerSport's Fact Friday. 📑📊
The first official Paralympic Games was held in Rome in 1960. This was open to female and male athletes. Female participation continues to be low, but the IPC is addressing these issues and year over year, female participation has grown.
Right now, all athletes want to be playing as soon as possible. While it does seem like a good plan to have the MLB season in Arizona, it can be harmful to the players and their mental health. They would have to leave their families and lives to go. #sport200@AlexEbner8
.@miketrout wants MLB to come back soon as possible, but brings up a number of issues that would have to be worked out logistically before baseball returns in any fashion. #LunchTalkNBCSN
By Tom Brady making these comments, he is showing the type of privilege many of us have in society. In sports, it is very hard for those of a different race to be accepted and have to deal with the struggles. His comment simply ignores those struggles. @AlexEbner8#sport200
.@MarcellusWiley defends Tom Brady’s comments on race during his interview on Howard Stern.
"I thought Tom Brady spoke accurately and aspirationally about how it is to be a football player & the integration of race into sports."
Seeing the WNBA delaying their season and the reactions that come with it shows they don't get fair treatment compared to the men. Comments have shown they don't really care that the season is being delayed based on people not being interested in the WNBA. @AlexEbner8#sport200
Breaking: The WNBA is delaying the start of training camps and the beginning of the regular season due to the impact of the coronavirus, the league announced.
When hearing about the virus and the various postponed sports, I didn't think about the impact on the employees. Employees are losing out on money to help stay safe. Teams that are setting up funds show that they care and the team is more than just them. @AlexEbner8#sport200
The L.A. Lakers, Clippers and Kings have set up an employee fund to provide financial help to all hourly arena workers impacted by the stoppage of games due to the coronavirus https://t.co/0lYBhRwbBi
The unfair treatment of the USWNT creates a culture for all sports to treat their female athletes as less than men and feeds into the binary system in that men and women should be placed on different playing fields. This lawsuit will hopefully bring change. @AlexEbner8#sport200
“Although they should be sued for racial discrimination at every level “ USWNT players seeking more than $66 million in damages in gender discrimination case https://t.co/DxS3u1T9ib
Mental health seems like a taboo topic in sports, and coaches and athletes see the mental issues as a way to play through the pain and not worry about their health. Having an event like this will shed light on the topic for the future and present. @AlexEbner8#sport200
Sports teams have the power to change society’s perception of social issues. Excited that among the teams we’ve worked with, the @Mets will be hosting a #SameHere game in May to teach (not just a group), but all of Citi, & fans on TV, that mental health is a topic for everyone.
Having the NBA tweeting with fans creates a great connection between the fans and the players. It enhances fan identity so the fans feel closer to the players and it breaks down the wall where they see players more as people than celebrities. @AlexEbner8#sport200
How the NBA used Twitter to dominate sports social media - The Washington Post. Sports sociology is affected because the NBA is using twitter to connect and interact with their fans. #sports200 @HaileyHoulihan https://t.co/vMwmGHJM7K
Having Candice Storey Lee become the first female athletic director and the first African American to be the head of athletics in Vanderbilt's conference is the step in the right direction. I hope this change will lead other women to make a change in sports. @AlexEbner8#sport200
Kobe Bryant's will leave a lasting legacy in basketball with his hard work and determination and leave a legacy on society in general how to devoting time to your family and career. @AlexEbner8#sport200
I wrote about why the aftermath of Kobe Bryant’s death is not a time to simply celebrate a beloved sports superstar, but also to remember his entire legacy.
I hope you’ll give it the same time and care reading it that I did writing it.
