Contemporary Issues within the sport
Introduction: Sport gets and is affected in positive ways and this allows the participation
rates to go up, so more people go do sport. But some factors can and are still affecting
sports that prevent people from participating in sport and going away form sports. However
sports tend to go also the different direction that makes the sport look bad or lack access by
not having opportunities, cheating, drugs and banned substances ext; Today I will cover 4
contemporary issues within sport and I’m going to cover Politics, Racism, sexism in sport
and Deviance and I’m going to say what they are what their effects have on sports also
covering their positives and negatives!
Politics:
Politics are associated with the governance of accounting or area, for example, Copeland
council there will be governors for this area, especially the debate between parties that are
having power. Their different types of parties in UK such UKIP, labour and other and
whoever gets the most votes from the general public of the Uk becomes the strongest party
and they are the ones that can then start to create rules, laws of the society that we live in

was Muhammad Ali they wanted to use him for their good. They wanted to send him to
Vietnam and they wanted him to say it publicly in front of the public because if he was to
say it in front of everyone he could get a lot of followers to go with him to Vietnam. They
wanted to take the advantages of him being famous to send more people to war because
they would recruit more people as Ali was going to war he would be able to take big fan
