Back in 2016, Rio hosted the Olympics and was left with abandoned stadiums, $40 million in debt to creditors, and unfinished environmental projects. This is a good example of how mega‑events leave problems instead of lasting benefits.
One year after Rio: What's left behind after the flame goes out
The 2016 Summer Games were supposed to bring Rio and Brazil to new financial and athletic heights. What's left behind? A city and country shrouded by corruption, debt and broken promises.

That time Canada’s sport commission pointed out a lack of access and opportunity, especially for para-athletes, Black and Indigenous communities, and people of colour. It shows how government priorities in sport often leave certain groups behind.

This is good example. That $5.45M shows how federal support can grow women’s pro soccer. Governments use funding not just for facilities, but to influence identity, health, and prestige through sport.

The Rogers NHL deal in 2013 shows how powerful media companies are in Canadian sport. Rogers paid billions for exclusive rights, which changed how fans watched hockey and forced CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada to give up control of its own program.

For sure, it reminds me of how Derrick Rose was pushed to come back early from injury. The expectation to play through pain stripped him of years he should’ve dominated. I think that fans often forget that these players bodies are their careers, not just entertainment.

I would like to also add that resting should be seen as smart, not weak. Athletes need time to heal, and pushing through pain just makes things worse in the long run.

With a full time career I know staying active will not always be easy. I will make time to train, move, and stay fit whether that means workouts, pickup games, or just being on my feet helping others. Physical activity will still be part of my routine even if life gets busy.

I see your point about physical exertion, but i think sport can also include activities that rely more on skill and strategy. If chess is recognized as a sport despite its lack of movement, then esports deserve a similar consideration. Players train rigorously, compete and perform for audiences.
