      <link>https://padlet.com/madiblankenship/5rm35qpdndtz0cfq</link>
      <description>The proposals for entry into the Olympics are evaluated against five categories.


Olympic proposal: history of the sport, whether it has been included in the programme before, the number of affiliated national federations and the level of participation in world or continental championships.

Institutional matters: financial status of the sport, its governance, gender equity and strategic planning.

Value added to the Olympic movement: the sport’s image and whether it represents Olympic values.

Popularity: how many spectators it will draw, sponsorship, media interest and whether the best athletes will compete at the Olympics.

Business model: the income the sport generates, the costs of staging the sport and its financial status. Which of the above proposals do you feel is the most important when considering entry and why? Respond to two classmates with different views than you and try to sway them with your opinion. </description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think when considering entry to the Olympic games the popularity should be the biggest concern. I think that if the sport wants too be in the Olympics that the sport needs to have a pretty large fan base and a large amount of people that would come watch the sport take place. I believe this because if people are not gonna watch then whats the point in holding the event.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think that popularity is the most important part of an Olympic sport.

Overall the sport needs to be popular enough for the Olympics to make money and gain viewership.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I personally believe the most important part of the Olympics is popularity.  The more popular and hyped up a sport is the more tickets and fan gear they will sell which generates more money. If is is popular the stadium will fill up and have people all around the world watching from their TV. So the sport needs to be popular enough so the Olympics can make the most money. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Popularity is probably the most important proposal because it dictates whether the sport is successful or not. If a sport has no fans then it will not create any income for the teams or the people holding the events. </div>]]></description>
