Should people use sport to promote a change?

In reading today we had to read a book called "Tour like no other". This was about a really big world issue that happened a couple of years ago. It was about the protesters trying to stop South Africa from playing in New Zealand. Reading through the text and watching the videos I felt really mad because back then racism was really bad , but I thought it wasn't right to be doing this to other people we should be treated the same. 

Provocation

This week we have been learning to consider both side of a provocation so that we can make an informed opinion.  Our question we had to make an opinion on was " Should host countries spend so much money on building the Olympic venues? ". Well being honest I thought that you didn't have to spend tons of money just on multiple Olympic venues because this money can be used for better things like hospitals, homeless and many more. See if the Olympic's are over what are they going to do with it.  To prove my point I added evidence to my blog with images and attributed it.  I also added in other peoples opinion because I have just realized that everyone has a opinion you don't always have the same.
