And don’t be scared. If they love a sport they should never be scared to try their best no matter what. You can tell them about famous female athletes in the same sport for them to look up to. I’m so sorry that this is long but I hope this helps!

I coached a co-ed soccer team and I had a blast. The girls on the team were very insecure and often would hold back because they didn’t want to “overpower” the boys. Starting at a young age I would remind girls that they’re strong and to not hold back. More on, allow them to explore the sport more.

I remember when I was in Paris in 2023 for a trip, they were already renovating the Eiffel Tower for the Olympics. Me and some of my friends remembered how the news said that the athletes were going to swim in the Seine River and we thought that was disgusting because of how dirty the water looked.

This shows how athletes abuse the environment for sport. They continued with their sports game(s) and endangered a native species in the UK because of the migration of a non-native species. Athletes should be considerate of the environment and other species before playing.
Utterly grotesque abuse of both the environment and captive-reared birds for sport. The impact these non-native birds have on our native species and countryside is huge inc. carrying avian influenza and predation of endangered species. Time all blood sports were banned in the UK.

In terms of government/politics in sport, the Credit Union Spark Centre in Weyburn often hosts a soccer tournament that includes teams from all over Saskatchewan. This is great for Weyburn since it puts our name on the map, increase revenue for the city, hotels, restaurants and the city itself.

This is an interesting observation. Ticks can cause severe harm to humans such as Lyme disease like you stated. This is something that countries, cities, and states will have to be cautious of going into big sporting events. It’s important they keep an eye on this problem to protect their athletes.

I remember I watched a documentary in junior high similar to this story and I found it really interesting. It is extremely dangerous, but it shows his passion for climbing and nature, something humans should value more. I also find it inspiring that he did this.

In terms of power, my hometown in Weyburn has a sports facility called “The Credit Union Spark Centre”. We have a big soccer field that many sport associations wants to use like soccer, baseball, football, etc. However, soccer always gets “first dibs” because of majority and increased revenue.

Taoiseach called out authorities in Dublin over lack of sporting facilities. In class we talked about how government is important in sports since they usually hold power over sports facilities in the country/city. This is an example of an athlete holding them to their power.

Like we discussed in class people are more likely to listen and take action if famous/popular individuals take a stand publicly. They will be more inclined to learn about the issue and take the athletes side positively adding to the cause. Sports can be very influential, and politics do have a role

I feel like since there is such a rift in how people feel about him he is trying to use UFC a popular sport, to connect with more people, and show America that he has interests outside politics. It is uncanny though that he wants to host a UFC bout on the White House lawn.That shouldn’t be approved

Yes, I had to read a book in English in grade 10 called “The Book Thief” and Jesse Owens was mentioned in it, and how his four wins humbled Hitler. It was a very interesting book about World War II but that part of the book will always stick out to me.

This is a really good point. People feel very strongly about their political views that it often clouds their rational thinking and they do bad or unacceptable things to show their passion and loyalty. An example would be when Trump supporters raided the White House to show their support to Trump.
November 20, 2025 at 6:42 PM
This is a great post. I feel like they often ignore big issues to not bring attention to the athlete since they are “so good” and still deserve to play, even though they committed a terrible act. I also feel like they are more concerned about revenue than the safety of individuals.

I think it was last year that I remember my dad telling me that Evander Kane got attacked by Vancouver Canucks fans in a bar in Vancouver. I believe it was because he betrayed Vancouver some how, but this act was extreme. He is still human, and even though loyalty is good, he did not deserve that.

After the Vancouver Canucks lost in game 7 of the finals, fans rioted the streets setting fires to trash cans and looting stores. It shows how intense the fans emotions were and how dedicated they are to their team. It’s good to be a loyal fan, but they can take it too far.

It’s crazy how many things we are exposed to in a day that influence what we think and we don’t even realize! I feel like most people think that the news and social media is what influences them most, which could be true, but little influences which they don’t even realize like music and ads add up.
November 19, 2025 at 11:01 PM
This is really interesting to think about. I know that I’ve discussed with my friends that when we get really hot, we are more moody and irritable. I’ve also seen social media posts made about that. It wouldn’t surprise me that if people were drinking AND it was hot, it would increase crowd violence

In 1997, 9 fights occurred between the Avalanche and Red Wings, including goalies Patrick Roy and Mike Vernon, which resulted in many players being ejected. It’s not often you see goalies fight in hockey, so although this violence is accepted in the NHL, it was unusual.
I always thought Vernon punched Roy so hard that his hair stood up, and the photographer got off a shot at the exact right split-second. Turns out Roy's hair just looked like that under the helmet.

In 2000 McSorley was upset after Brashear mocked him for losing a fight, so McSorley slashed him hard across the head with his stick, knocking him unconscious. McSorley was suspended for 23 games, and faced assault charges. This is extreme and bad behaviour for any sport.
Another Canuck heavyweight, Donald Brashear. He went toe-to-toe with Marty McSorley - a man not often beaten - countless times, and pounded him every time
McSorley wound up swinging his stick at Brash’s head a couple yrs after this (that scene below in this thread)

I find it interesting how we talked about how some deviance is accepted in certain settings while it is not in other settings. For example, how punching someone on the street is unacceptable and considered deviance, but punching someone in a NHL hockey game is accepted. Thinking about it, it’s odd.
November 2, 2025 at 2:37 AM
I hope it wasn’t counted as a goal because as society knows that goes against soccer rules and regulations. Although individuals do questionable things in desperate situations, I think this is unacceptable since he is a professional soccer player and should know better.
October 29, 2025 at 7:33 PM
I remember hearing something similar to this involving Canada’s women’s Olympic soccer team. To try and win their game they bought drones to spy on their opponents. This is cheating and a scandal for Canada or any country who participates in this behaviour. It definitely shows deviance.

On June 23, 1997 Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield’s ear during their WBA Heavyweight Championship rematch. This would be an example of postive deviance since Mike Tyson defied the fighting rules and did/hurt Evander more than just hitting him. He went above and beyond.

I feel like this is a great example that women can do the same things as men. Society always compares men and women, and often men come out on top. However, this is a leading example how women are just as capable as men, and shouldn’t be underestimated.
