    Sports, Race, and Politics: the Olympic Boycott of Apartheid Sport

    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2017 Volume VIII, Spring 2017 ISSN 2153-1714 Sports, Race, and Politics: The Olympic Boycott of Apartheid Sport Matt Bersell Western Illinois University In the article “Hitting Apartheid for Six? The Politics of the South African Boycott,” Douglas Booth writes that during the second half of the twentieth century, the international community regarded the South African government as a “pariah” due to its racially restrictive apartheid laws that denied equal economic, political, and social rights to the nation’s nonwhite majority. According to Booth, “foreign governments, multinational corporations, churches, the media, campaign groups, and individuals” increasingly condemned apartheid and joined international actions against the South African government through organized boycotts, sanctions, and embargoes.1 One specific form of international solidarity was the movement against apartheid sport which resulted in South Africa’s suspension from the 1964 and 1968 Olympic Games and its eventual expulsion from the premier international athletic competition in 1970. As a result of its commitment to racial segregation in sport and the exclusion of blacks from international competition, South Africa was not allowed to participate at the Olympics until 1992.2 Through the historical examination of the relationship between sports, politics, and race, it is evident that the boycott of South African sports, specifically the ban levied by the International Olympic Committee, had significant political and social ramifications. Sports, Politics, and Race Despite countless attempts to separate the two fields, sports and politics have been linked since ancient times.3 Barrie Houlihan finds the “the interweaving of sport and politics” at the international, national, and regional/local levels.4 According to Roger I.

    Impact of Sporting Activities on the Environment in Kenya: Proposal for a Specific Policy on Sports and Environment

    Impact of Sporting Activities on the (2021) Journalofcmsd Volume 6(1)) Environment in Kenya: Proposal for a Specific Policy on Sports and Environment: Caroline Shisubili Maingi & Mercury Shitindo Impact of Sporting Activities on the Environment in Kenya: Proposal for a Specific Policy on Sports and Environment By: Caroline Shisubili Maingi* & Mercury Shitindo* Abstract Sport is a necessary part of life that is intricately interconnected to the environment. On one hand, sports need a good environment to be played on whilst at the same time, sports through its activities affects the environment. When the world was hit with a global pandemic in 2019, sports was one of the areas that was most affected. With the encouragement of social and physical distance as a means of reducing infection rates and limiting physical contact in sports, it also acted as a period of restoration of the environment. This article emphasizes how sport promotes good health, physical fitness, mental well-being, social interaction and contributes to the socio-economic, political and cultural development of a country. The article highlights how sports can attract infrastructure that requires heavy machinery that can impact the environment negatively, this in addition to the economic activities linked to it, and how this directly affects man. The article delves into sports in Kenya identifying how there are no clear guidelines on how to do sports while taking care of the environment. The study will recommend policies that will encourage a balance between having sports while also giving consideration to the environment. 1. Introduction Sport, like any other human activity, is set in the physical environment and is bound to have effects on it and be affected by it.

    Managing Olympic Sport Organisations

    Managing Olympic Sport Organisations MANAGING OLYMPIC SPORT ORGANISATIONS Editor Leigh Robinson 002 FOREWORD MANAGING OLYMPIC SPORT ORGANISATIONS Foreword reinforce NOC structures and global management capacities, Olympic Solidarity offers educational training opportunities such as the Advanced Sport Management Courses (ASMC), of which Managing Olympic Sport Organisations is the base textbook. Through these courses, Olympic Solidarity supports the concept of a learning community in which NOCs’ main stakeholders – athletes, coaches, managers – learn from each other and interact in line with the objectives and interests of the Olympic Movement. Sport needs the expertise of well-educated and dedicated sports managers. This is why I encourage all those who delve into Managing Olympic Sport Organisations to study each of the topics with a view to strengthening the role of the Olympic Movement – and especially the role of the NOCs and their affiliated members. Everyone in the Olympic Movement has a shared responsibility to be as fully prepared as possible to shape the future of sport and build solidarity within our communities and around the world. This is even more true today. As this updated 003 version of Managing Olympic Sport Organisations goes to print, the world is in the midst of an unprecedented global crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic. The uncertain times we are going More than ever before, sport is an essential part of through are a stark reminder that we need symbols our modern, diverse society – which is more global of hope and inspiration more than ever. Sport is and changing more rapidly than at any previous intrinsically connected to promoting peace and time in history.

Due to budgetary constraints and relative internal political stability, Botswana had relied on a small paramilitary force called the Police Mobile Unit (PMU) since the early 1960s for all defence – related issues. By the late 1970s, the sharp escalation of the struggle for Zimbabwe resulted in cross – border incursions by Rhodesian security forces who were pursuing armed freedom fighters.
