Sport Actvism
What is Sport Activism?
​
Sport activism is advocating or acting for social or political change in sport, or through sport; for social or political change elsewhere. Effective sport activism and protest dispel the myth that sport and politics do not mix and offer a degree of optimism that oppression can be challenged.
​
Sport offers a theatre of opportunity ripe for activism which has the potential power to transform circumstances, and can act as a site for resistance towards targets both inside and outside sport, ideologically, politically economically, socio-culturally, and environmentally.
​
Sport activism represents a challenge to those who uncritically assert that sport is non-political, that politics should be kept out of sport, and to blinkered sport evangelists who believe that sport is always a benign force for social good. Sport Activism contests the conservative social values which permeate sport, the global neo-liberal economic context within which sport is practiced, and is illustrated by a range of examples drawn from both lawful means and civil disobedience.

What does proofreading entail?If you already have your Brazilian Portuguese or English content, your material will benefit from a second pair of eyes! I can provide a final quality check before you publish it or send it off for printing. I work with businesses and private clients to ensure the highest possible standards and avoid errors which can cost time, money and even reputations. I check for: - Spelling - Grammar - Regional inconsistencies (US v. UK English, Brazilian v. European Portuguese phrasing, etc.) - Numerical errors - Typos which are not picked up by a spellcheck - Consistency of terms
