I don’t think people necessary care more about sports than politics. I just think it is a matter of entertainment. People would rather be entertained than learn about politics. I think that people do want to learn more about politics but they aren’t willing to give up their sports. That is one reason I think why politicians try and mix sport and politics to effectively reach this audience this sport audience that otherwise wouldn’t be involved in political processes.

    I TOTALLY agree with Ryan. People want to know more about politics but are not willing to give up an ounce of their sports and compromise. I think to get the full effect of knowing politics, some compromise has to be done.

    I guess the question is though based on everything we have read about sport thus far, isn't the world of sport and politics of race, gender, class etc entwined?
