I feel in most cases there would be more damage to infrastructure like stadiums but this mainly focuses on affecting how sport is played and impacted by the environment.

Surprisingly there was very little to no cost in damage as there organization renovated the stadium so it could better withstand environment such as hurricanes. There wasn't any information found about what it cost to delay the game.

A good instance of funding by government to support sport would be how in 2025 the UK government set aside 900 million pounds in funds to help boost economic growth and creating a way of bringing people together for events such as the Tour De France and other major events. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Continuing, This instance not only would of affected the sport being played but also impacting infrastructure like the stadium.

Continuing this post, growing the fan base and audience through a media platform like TSN showcasing CFL games.

A clear example of the sports media nexus was the sport and media deal between TSN and the Canadian Football League back in 2019 involving 50 million dollars. It is a example of providing rights and a partnership in terms of growing the fan base

I think that using my sociological imagination, I could see myself working full time as an occupational therapist while still participating in some sort of rec sport with freinds when I have time aside from work. I would also see myself getting a workout or a run in early each day to keep active.

New child safety resources are being used by Basketball Australia which were created for the safety of youth who participate within the community of basketball. This would be a good example of how organizations like this one below are making youth sport safe.

I think that to define a sport it should first be organized where there are set rules. Competitiveness and enjoyment where everyone is competing and having a good time is another way of defining a sport in my opinion. I also believe skill like individual or team skill plays a big part into this.
