I think making sport both safe and fun for youth is so important. Kids should feel supported, not pressured, and have a chance to enjoy the game while learning teamwork. I like how programs add protection and also focus on joy, because both safety and fun help keep kids active for life.

This paper presents and explores critical race theory (CRT) as an ontological starting point for the study of sport and leisure. CRT is based on five precepts outlined by Solorzano and Yosso that centre 'race' and racism, social justice, plurivocality, transdisciplinarity and challenge orthodoxies.

I think sport is an activity with physical effort, skill, and competition. Leisure like walking is healthy but not sport. eSports feel more like “mind sports” than physical ones. Do you think mental challenge alone can define a sport?
