- health advantages of sport
- ways in which sport might allow us to indulge competitive streak/combat etc. in ‘safe’/controlled environments
- sport’s role in international politics
- limitations of sport as a leisure activity (what it can’t do compared to more intellectual activities etc.)
- what we mean by ‘sport’ – a very wide category; are some sports more/less ‘overrated’ than others?
- coverage of sport in the media (e.g. at expense of other more pressing and important concerns)
- views about financial outlay and costs
