In , Venus Williams appealed to the Grand Slam governing board and then wrote an op-ed, fighting for equal monetary awards for men and women at Wimbledon and the French Open. Meanwhile, Serena Williams has vowed to fight for equal pay too — especially for Black women. Unlike the NFL, the NBA has a written rule about standing for the national anthem — and the league made sure to remind players of this stipulation. In addition to donating to various nonprofits and establishing his own foundation, James also helped establish the I Promise School, a public elementary school in Akron, Ohio, that aims to help struggling students. Bullock has made it his mission to speak out about how violence and murder disproportionately impact trans women of color. In , several high-profile members of the U. Soccer with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Among those members? In July, the team celebrated their victory at a ticker-tape parade in New York City where legions of fans chanted "Equal pay! Muhammad Ali won a gold medal at the Summer Olympics. A year later he turned pro and converted to Islam, which led him to take the name we know him by today. A few years later in , "The Greatest" refused to be drafted into the military because he opposed the Vietnam War. Ali was subsequently arrested, found guilty of draft evasion and stripped of his boxing titles. Although the Supreme Court overturned his conviction in , the conscientious objector still sacrificed some of his best years as an athlete. Nonetheless, his activism turned him into a counterculture icon. The New York Times dubbed Jesse Owens "perhaps the greatest and most famous athlete in track and field history. These victories made him the most successful athlete at the Games. And being the most successful athlete at the Games, as a Black man, was taking a stand in and of itself. The first professional athlete to kneel in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick was soccer star Megan Rapinoe, who knelt during the anthem prior to a Seattle Reign match. We all do. Denver Nuggets player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf converted to Islam in and, during a game, he refused to stand during the national anthem. He stated that the U. Just two years later, Abdul-Rauf left the league. The University of Wyoming kicked 14 Black players off the football team in During a game against Brigham Young University — a Mormon-owned and -operated school — said players were planning to protest a Mormon policy that forbade Black members from the priesthood. Wearing black armbands, the players approached their coach before the game but were promptly dismissed — which caused other student athletes to take up the cause. Unfortunately, the Black 14 were not reinstated, but, nine years later, the Mormon church finally allowed Black members to attain leadership positions. In September of , the Indiana Fever WNBA team joined other athletes — inspired by Colin Kaepernick — to kneel during the national anthem to protest ongoing police brutality against Black folks in America. But this protest was unique. The players took action just before a WNBA playoff game — a high-stakes event with higher viewership — and every single member of the Fever knelt, arms linked. This marked the first time an entire team protested during the anthem. Off the floor, Raisman has also set an example by speaking her truth. In , she came forward as one of the many young women who were sexually abused by the former Olympic team physician Larry Nassar. Raisman later filed a lawsuit against U. Gymnastics and the U. Olympic Committee, claiming both organizations "knew or should have known" about the abuse. In , Adam Rippon publicly came out as gay and, three years later, he was one of three men selected to represent the U. Long before his events aired, a lot of pressure — and attention — were placed on the skater. Rippon also aired his concerns about Mike Pence being chosen to lead the U. Although fencer Albert Wolff qualified for the French Olympic team, he chose to boycott the Summer Games due to his Jewish heritage. That year, the games were were being held in Nazi Germany. Wolff said, "I cannot participate in anything sponsored by Adolf Hitler, [not] even for France. Jewish athletes from the U. Caster Semenya, a South African middle-distance runner, is an Olympic gold medalist and has won several World Championship titles. However, her time as a world-class athlete has been plagued by invasive "sex verification testing" since Essentially, this meant that women and people who have higher testosterone levels and a certain androgen sensitivity would be required to take medicine to adjust those levels. Semenya announced that she would challenge this ruling, even bringing it to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland. Despite winning two gold medals at the Asian Junior Athletics Championships in , Chand was disqualified from the Commonwealth Games in a last-minute decision by the Athletic Federation of India.

    Hugvísindasvið Sumo Dwindling popularity or a new chapter? Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Sigurrós María Sigurbjörnsdóttir Maí 2010 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt mál og menning Sumo Dwindling popularity or a new chapter? Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Sigurrós María Sigurbjörnsdóttir Kt.: 260485-8149 Leiðbeinendur: Kaoru Umezawa og Yoshihiko Iura Maí 2010 Abstract The sport of sumo has been around in Japan in some forms since the beginning of time. It has evolved into an elegant professional sport enjoyed for hundreds of years by both emperors and commoners. When it comes to sumo there are vast differences of opinion about the sport. Some say it is much more than a sport, even go as far as calling it a lifestyle. Sumo has been described as one of the great spectator sports in the world. For a great part of 20th century sumo was the most popular spectator sport in Japan and it was not until the 1980s that baseball surpassed sumo in popularity. Recent decades it has had a decline in popularity as western entertainment has invaded the recreational landscape of Japan. The sport has though spread to countries all over the world as an amateur sport and is gaining popularity in a new field. Now at least 84 countries have their own amateur sumo circuit and are a part of the International Sumo Federation. This interest from abroad might be able to revive the popularity of the professional sumo that has been stained by scandals over and over again. The scandals include xenophobia on behalf of the Nihon Sumo Kyokai, cheating amongst sumo wrestlers, violence in the stables and gender discrimination.
