People struggle with gaining or losing weight for many reasons, this does mean they are not living a healthy lifestyle thus physical measurements are not the correct way to measures one health- Sukhmani

I agree because opportunity being available to all is important in all societies regardless of their income. Income does not change skill and people want to display their talents so we should be inclusive to all by funding sports. - Abinaya

I agree that athletes deserve the pay they get because they have devoted their entire life to their sport. They have sacrificed experiences, relationships and their mental health. Many are not able to spend time with their loved ones they are constantly working on their craft to get better.  - Om

I disagree because this is basically saying that if someone works out but can’t lose weight, it means that they’re unhealthy/unfit. This isn’t true because many people have trouble losing and gaining weight due to other health reasons. You could still be healthy, working out everyday yet still be a little bigger.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with this point because your physical appearance (measurements) doesn't determine if you are healthy or not. You can't categorize what healthy looks like.

Since there are a lot of youth that may have some financial issues that prevent them from being able to travel to international competitions, the Canadian government should aid in funding. I believe that money should not be a factor that prevents youth to show the best of their abilities.-Reem

I agree because equal access to opportunity is crucial in all communities, regardless of money. Income has no bearing on talent, and individuals want to showcase their abilities, thus we should be inclusive to all by sponsoring sports.-Nawal

I agree as it is a win-win situation for both parties, small communities will have the opportunity to engage in physical activity if currently struggle to. On the other hand, the business will also benefit and create a good image for themselves while still helping the community.-Sukhmani

Sports franchises should be concerned about the team's success and the experience of going to a game because athletes want to be on a winning team, and fans would like to experience the game by seeing a winning game! (Gurnoor)

Brinda - I don’t think so that all athletes deserve the earnings they get. About this topic, we had also talked in the class about how women are not getting equal pay as men even though they have more talent than men and they deserve high earning. Thus, there are some professional athletes that do not deserve high earning.

I agree that athletes are entitled to their salary because they have dedicated their entire lives to their sport. They've given up on experiences, relationships, and their mental health.

Sport franchises dedicate alot of their time and money into all of these games. The record of the team plays a big role in the franchises success as a whole. Yes, we do have people who will support the team regardless, but we should focus on the bigger picture. If the team isn't playing well, people will not support them as much. - Abinaya

# data[].attributes.body
Sport franchises should be concerned about the overall satisfaction, as well as, the mental health of the players. Taking care of the players will only improve the quality of the game and prevent players from losing love for the game. It also prevents players from having a period of quick success and quick downfall through the efforts of sport franchises.

Focusing on community-level sports will allow companies to advertise their companies on team wear, such as jerseys and hats. It will also allow youth to experience sports in a new way. Thus, it will be profitable for companies and businesses to invest in the youth. Youth should be able to experience sports in a way that would want them to stick to sport, if they are not given the same treatment as other children, then they could be forced to quit a sport (Gurnoor).

# data[].attributes.body
Income plays a big role in the youth's participation in sports and their physical literacy. More funding to community level sports will allow more oppertunities for the youth and add more encouragement. I think that since the business also benefits from these funding and sponsorships, it's a win - win situation where the community is given more oppertunities and the business has more advertisement and community involvement.

The demand for experienced atheltes is high as they increase the team's chances of winning titles. Successful teams make more money from broadcasting rights, merchandise and ticket sales. Clubs have to compete for the best players by offering the highest wages. Which is why athletes are both warranted and deserved. diya

i agree because in my opinion, physical measurements will not equal health. because there are so many factors that can affect weight or muscle gain like supplement taking, genetics, your job, and physical literacy, this can invalidate the "results" of a health product because we don't know for sure if the model used had positive results because of the product or because she was in calorie deficit for a week while taking the product. - julie

Brinda - I think that the sports franchise should be concerned about their teams as they are already investing lots of money in the match, and seeing their team win would be considered worth investing the money.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because a lot of good athletes tend to back out of many sports due to lack of funding. Having the same access to funding will allow those who have financial problems to have the same chances as everyone else. The ability to train and participate in sports should not depend on if you have the money to pay for it but should depend on the skills you have. - Avneet C

I would have to disagree because a "healthy body" looks different on different people. Although most fitness influencers on instagram may have a very slim build , others may not have the same build but they are still just as healthy as the person on the instagram post. which is why physical measurements is not an acurate way to measure health.

I agree because whether we like it or not, in order to gain interest in the sport for athletes to join, the sponsorships have to start. In the end it is a "win win" situation where the athletes and teams get to be formed and the sponsorship gets funds as well. - Anjali

I disagree because for some people even though they are working out every day it might take a longer time for them to lose weight. Their physical appearance does not mean they are unfit or unhealthy.

i disagree with this since other factors could very well influence how the product changes someones physical health and wellness. the effect can vary from person to person because of a health condition of theirs or some other reason so i feel like there isnt really 1 best way to validate the effect of that product and they shouldnt just stick to one way and instead use multiple ways such as mental wellness as well.

Brinda - I agree that the community should help athletes in funding because there might be players who have talent but don’t have  enough funds to play the sport. In such cases we should help the players with funds as this can help them achieve their goals.

i agree that athletes do deserve the compensation they do make. i believe this because they spend so much of their time training to be in a professional league and many of them have devoted their lives to the sport to get to the point where they can make this money. if you take a look at some athletes who grew up with lower class families and worked their butts off and practiced and trained every single day to be as good as they are present day, you would see that these people deserve every bit of compensation they make. - julie

After comparing the funding and income difference in female vs male athletes, it's clear that female athletes significantly earn less than male althetes. These females have worked just as hard, if not more than male altheltes, putting in training and years of their life towards their sport just to earn less. Therefore, earnings of athletes are not what they deserved.

Physical measurements are not the best way to measure whether or not someone/something is healthy. This is because measurements can depict various different things; for example, a 140 pound 5'0 pound girl vs a 140 pound 6'0 teenage boy represent different health concerns. In addition advertisements also can affect things, for example, coke zero, it is advertised as healthy because it's zero calories, but they do not advertise the wrong part, the radicals and etc... In addition physical measurements can mean different things to/on different people. (Gurnoor)

i believe amateur athletes should be fully funded to go to events and competitions. i believe this because not all athletes can afford to attend events and competitions like the Olympics, and because a lot of it is role models to our youth, they 100% should be funded. - julie

i agree with this because i do feel like if more funding went to youth sports, it would be profitable in a sense where it would influence other youth to try out certain activities. some schools dont fund a certain activity and interest becomes very low. However if there was more funding it would incentivize more people with interest to play it and grow that sport in interest

I agree that funding for community sport at all levels for youth is a profitable business to venture because I believe that everyone should get a chance to showcase their talent.

-Kruti

I agree with this, businesses should focus on funding community sports at all levels to increase opportunity for youth. Not everyone has disposable income to spare. A lot of youth has talent but not advantages in their corner but they should have equal opportunities.

I believe not all athletes deserve the amount of money they make. Many athletes such as Conner McGregor earn huge payouts because of the hype they create for their game rather than actual skill. This leads to more popular athletes getting more money whether they are good at their sport or not. This also leads to leagues such as the WNBA not being as popular as the NBA due to the hype created by famous players. In conclusion, athletes are being paid because of the hype they create for their games which leads to unequal pay for women and fewer opportunities for other athletes that deserve the spotlight. -Ali

Since athletes work hard and sacrifice to get where they are and improve, they do deserve the high earnings. However, there is a substantial pay gap between male and female athletes who work just as hard and sacrifice a lot too. Women athletes should be payed just as much, equally. - Akashi

Women get paid significantly less than men and women in my opinion have to work twice as hard to excel in their sport. for example, women have to go to school for all four years in order to go pro whereas men can get drafted straight out of high school. therefore, it is not warranted. - Anjali

Amateur athletes would not have been able to complete the necessary amount of training while working a conventional 40-hour workweek. It's all, perhaps something part-time with in 20 to 25 area, but basically, that still leaves them at a serious disadvantage compared to their rivals internationally. Amateur athletes would be far more successful in representing our nation if they were provided funds for their training. It would be fair, and they wouldn't be at a disadvantage in terms of time compared to other nations. - Amneet

Athletes deserve the pay they get because of the amount of time and energy they put into training and the risks they take such as injuries that can occur while they play, which can affect their whole career.

The amount of money you have and the support you have affects how and what you decide to pursue with your life moving ahead. As of right now, we are in grade 12, and some students may be choosing careers that they might not have chosen if they were perhaps more financially secure or perhaps in a situation where you were allowed to be creative with your career path. The same is true for anyone who wishes to participate in sports. The community and those who need it most may change their life from what most individuals in their position have made by having financing tailored and devoted to people of all levels and society. - Amneet

Athletes definitely deserve the pay they receive. This is because, the athletes at the top had to work relentlessly for their dream.

There should be a point where professional athletes stop and say, "Hey, this is enough money," because every year you see them demanding more money, and the question is, do they really need it? I'm in the middle of it, and I think that professional athletes deserve a good chunk of money because they are, in a sense, risking their lives when they play sports because any type of injury can be serious enough to prevent them from ever playing again. - Amneet
