Racism and Bruins

The Boston Bruins played Montreal and there were a few fans on twitter that posted negative remarks against defenseman P.K. Subban. People then were going crazy saying how all Bostonian's are racist and ignorant which is completely false. Many of the tweets were deleted after the fans saw their actions and saw what they were saying and how offensive the tweets were. Most of the tweets were not even Boston Bruins fans. The media went nuts especially since racism is so big right now with the Donald Sterling fiasco. If the media sees or hears any bit of racism they are going to make a whole story out of it even if it is out of context. This twitter problem that just happened was extremely hurtful though. It was not necessary to post anything so rude because it reflects on the entire fan base which it should not because most people are not racist. The Bruins president addressed the negative tweets and comments made by those people and was very polite in saying that just because those people decided to say those uncivil things, does not mean everyone that is a fan of the Boston Bruins is racist and that they should not blame all Bostonian's for the careless peoples comments. They should take responsibility for their actions and own up to it and apologize because it was uncalled for to say what they said. I do not think that the tweets should have brought up this much attention though because a lot of fans have negative hurtful things to say about the rival teams. Twitter is always reliable because its so accurate and people update theirs like crazy.

What is a sport?

                I think a sport is something that involves activity and movement. Physical activity is what makes a sport a sport. When the activity you are doing keeps you in shape and proactive, then I think it should be considered a sport because it is keeping you fit and healthy. Most people do not consider cheerleading a sport, but when they are twirling around and throwing people and catching people I think it is a sport. If the cheerleaders are just standing around waving their hands and yelling and cheering, I do not consider it a sport because they are not doing anything but standing around. I think it all depends on what they are doing for the activity to be considered a sport.

                When you are standing around a table with a paddle in your hand and dinking the ping pong ball over the tiny net, it is not considered to be a sport in my eyes. Also chess is not a sport because yes you have skill, but there is not athleticism in it at all. Chess, Ping Pong, Botchy etc. are considered to be hobbies rather than an actual sport. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but if there is no physical activity then I do not believe that it is a sport.

                 The sport does not need to have a ball involved, but most people would argue with that and say that to be considered a sport it has to have a ball. Not in my eyes. Yoga and ballet are definitely sports because the involve staying in shape and movement.  Just because it is in the Olympics does not mean it is a sport though. Ping pong is in the Olympics and i do not think it is a sport, but an activity because it only involves movement of the arms and hands. No other physical activity. I think curling is a sport though because you have to move across the ice and use a lot of your muscles to brush the ice to make the disk go which ever way and how far you want.
