violence in sport

http://www.humankinetics.com/excerpts/excerpts/does-on-field-violent-behavior-lead-to-off-field-violence

The athlete, who feels his manhood is being challenged, may struggle not to respond with physical force. However, athletes who do respond physically may be simply reflecting cultural upbringing that was established outside of sport. Sport may not be the cause of violence, but rather a result of the athletes’ upbringing or natural disposition, which led them to choose a violent sport

A sensitive topic for many athletes is the apparent rise in violence against women among male athletes. Most men would be quick to say that they respect women and certainly don’t intend women harm. Here are some statistics from the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes on its website at ncava.org:
A three-year study showed that while male student-athletes make up 3% of the population on college campuses, they account for 19% of sexual assaults and 35% of domestic assaults on college campuses.
Athletes commit one in three college sexual assaults.
The general population has a conviction rate of 80% for sexual assaults, while the rate for athletes is only 38%.
These statistics were gathered from 107 cases of sexual assault reported at 30 Division I schools between 1991 and 1993 (Crosset, Benedict, and McDonald 1995). Critics of this study say the sample size was relatively small and was not controlled for the use of alcohol, the use of tobacco, and the man’s attitude toward women

Assumptions:

Positive side of the article: this is assuming that:

-athletes that choose to do a violent sport did have a violent upbringing.

Negative side of the article: this is assuming that:

-the athletes were not under the influence of alcohol or drugs

-the male athletes that assaulted the females had no personal problems with the female, ie the female stole from the male athlete ect.

S- the athlete could have been hyped up by a fellow team Mate or a stranger. This stranger or team mate could have been telling the athlete things that isn't true in order for the athlete to become violent towards the female.

P-

E-

E- environment could have been an influence. Say if something happened while at a club there could have been  a lot of people intoxicated being in able to control their temper.

C-this could have been apart of their upbringing. Based of stereotypes some cultures tend to have a more violent upbringing than others which may impact on how they react to certain problems.

H-this can also tie in with cultural

The campaign is working with sports clubs all over New Zealand at a national and local level, in partnership with family violence networks.
Sports clubs and their leaders and players are influential in their own communities. Role models can talk to younger players and build a community of support that says "no" to family violence.

The campaign has also partnered with Rugby League, Breakers Basketball, Rugby Clubs, The Pulse Netball, soccer clubs in Upper Hutt and Horowhenua.
Sporting legends like Ruben Wiki, Liam Messam, Cory Jane, Aaron Cruden and Sonny Bill Williams have also featured in campaigns.

Sport Injuries:

Before I began my research I had my own statement. This is that injuries can never truly have a positive side as the majority of the time they hinder us from performing at our peak or our best. The only time we can consider them having a positive side is in things such as weight lifting where we desire to create small tears in the muscle (which can be considered as an injury) so we can grow and increase the muscles but other than I don’t really see injuries having a positive side.

A good example of the negatives of injuries in sport are concussions. For those that don’t know, a concussion is wa brain injury that occurs after someone has experienced a mild  blow to the head or violent shaking of the body and head. Symptoms of concussions include things such as include headache, confusion, lack of coordination, memory loss, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, ringing in the ears, sleepiness and excessive fatigue. These are common in sports which involve a lot of contact such as NFL, Rugby and boxing etc. A good movie to watch relating to concussions is “Concussion” where Will Smith plays Dr. Bennet Omalu, the man who first discovered and diagnosed the brain injury concussion. This movie appropriately illustrates the way the concussion works and the trauma it causes people who suffer repeated concussions. While many people suffer from concussions people who play competitive/professional sport will try hide this to allow them to continue

to play. They do this to avoid the

https://www.today.com/health/teens-playing-through-pain-not-taking-sports-injuries-seriously-says-1D80274256

This article talks about how as teens often when we get injured our first instinct is to play through the pain but sometimes this might not be the best option as it will lead to long term damage like what Boothby suffered from.

When talking about SPEECH.

Environmental: In New Zealand we grow up in an environment where our top three sports, Netball, Rugby and Hockey are all contact sports. Because these are the three most advertised and shown on TV it is natural that us as youth aspire to play in such sportst but the negative side is that these sports tend to be contact and be prone to injury. This combined with the fact as teens we tend to play through the pain doesn't help.

Sexism: the issue of sexism is that girls are getting treated differently in sport. Boys are encouraged to take higher risks whereas girls are known for being cautious and less competitive.

An assumption that can be made by www.dailylife.com.au/ says “it’s not just physical development that is affected by gender. Other research suggests that girls are often not encouraged — or given the opportunity — to extend themselves intellectually.”

A personal experience that backs up this statement above was in intermediate there was an option for boys and girls when it came to ‘free time’ that being boys could play bull rush or touch but girls had the option of playing on the playground  or stay inside. Even if there was no option given you were almost pressured into staying with your gender group or else you were  not included.

From the same source “If we want our daughters to be brave, courageous, physically active, and feel equally deserving of attention, then we need to be vigilant in challenging gender stereotypes. Because even with the best intentions, if we are not consciously rejecting outdated gender roles then by default will continue to do what we’ve always done and confine our girls to the bottom rungs of life’s rock wall.”

Sexisim especially in sports affects females throughout many years.  Some females are discouraged to participate in sport due to discrimination by society, this can affect their social skills as they may have never been encouraged to be in a team resulting in not being able to work well with various groups of people. I personally believe being part of a sport team has helped me with my leadership, social skills.

this has affected sport in NZ by males ending up having more encouragement to succeed then females. even at high levels of sport males are often found to have more sponsorships and paid more than females.

5. How has this affected  sport in NZ society?

The issue I am going to be talking about today is the dilemma of racism in sport, racism is a huge part of not only sport but a huge part of everything in today's society, personally I believe this is due to the fact that people make it quite a big issue but then again this is because I personally am not racist however I do know people of a different colour who are discriminated against for that specific reason which personally I find quite disturbing and sad. I believe people should be able to play and be selected for teams in sport on their skill and/ or effort, I believe people being discriminated in sport is one of the saddest feats alive due to the fact that everyone plays sport for different reasons whether it be social interaction or competitiveness and to cut people away from that due to the colour of their skin or background is frankly disgusting.

In both articles they state how racism is indeed a negative aspect, which is a favourable topic no one wants racism to affect the sports we all love to participate in and on top of this if you are talking about racism itself any article you find is gonna be negative obviously, however in the positive outlook article it talks about the positive outlook on racism for example the challenges it represents for people of diverse ethnic background not only this but how overcoming these challenges provides a huge boost in personal awareness and personal character as well as shows your love for the sport as well as the time and effort you are putting in to sacrafice everything.

The first part of speech is society, and the sad part is society is why racism is the conscious living monster it is, racism is here due to the past and the previous decisions the world and society at that time made and in my opinion those decisions were indeed wrong, society made racism a challenge which the current society is trying to move past to develop and become a better world to live so that we can all participate in the sports we love but also live in peace of each other. However I believe all aspects of SPEECH are affected and are in direct correlation with racism as well as racism in sport due them all being enablers and reasons why racism in society and sport exist.

Due to NZ being quite a large central hub to say for sport and because we are very close to many different ethnic background such as Japan, Fiji and Samoa it creates a huge tension in NZ sports when it comes to racism. However due to NZ and out culturally ethnic background we have always been very friendly which is backed up with our societal image and representation which I believe is why NZ as a country is so inviting and willing to host because we do not discriminate and accept all types of people with any background.

3.assumptions:an assumption made in the positive article is that sport is filled with “low life,boozers and bigots” and that why should this sin be a stand out and be treated with a higher degree of consequences,another is that human enhancement in cycling has been done for years and that armstrong only stood out because of his prowess as a cyclist. An assumption made in the negative article is that blood doping detection isn't a perfect form of detection and it has to grow and adapt along with new forms of enhancement.

4.societal aspects are affected i blood doping as it provides a false image of athletes a super humans and causes an unrealistic expectations for young athletes wanting to play the sport at a professional level.political aspects have been affected aswell because when a player has been caught blood doping it requires legal action that might be what the sport wants for the player accused

5.new zeland is a very sport proud country and because of this the field for needing athletes is  very competitive and very limited as well as being very financially beneficial this means performance enhancement is quite prominent and affects how other sporting countries would look at us.

Eddie McGuire said this abo would be good to be good for the face of King Kong the musical.

S: A negative
social media backlash towards McGuire
P: since McGuire is the president of Collingwood magpies
E:affects the Collingwood club as people won't be willing to purchase tickets and jerseys as the clubs president doesn't portray the clup in a positive manner.
E: Supporters of the club create a negative environment during games and social media which also portrays the club negatively

C: culturally there is the biggest impact because of the discrimination showed towards the aboriginal mans culture.
H: this can bring up the historical past of apartheid and the racism showed hundreds of years ago, which most humans have tried their hardest to get rid of racism and incidents like this seem to destroy the progress human kind has made

Sport in nz society has been affected by racism because the commentators will be more aware of what they're saying when they commentate during games because they're aware that everyone is listening to what they're saying and if they something which is slightly controversial then people will take it in a negative light and have the same outcome as what has happened to Eddie McGuire

Issue: Drugs in sport
The former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was suspended one year by USADA for failing two drug tests in relation to UFC 200 in July 2016. Lesnar, 39, tested positive for clomiphene and its metabolite, 4-hydroxyclomiphene, in an out-of-competition drug test June 28 and in-competition test on fight night, July 9. His opponent Mark Hunt is threatening the UFC and Lesnar with a lawsuit because he feels like he was treated unfairly and not fully compensated for an opponent testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug. Lesnar, who held the heavyweight title between 2008 and 2010, was also given a one-year suspension and a $250,000 fine by the Nevada Athletic Commission in December.
