SODcast: Safety Ethics in Sports

On this week’s episode of SODcast, members dive into a great conversation on safety ethics in sports. Our discussion questions and resources are below. Questions: How should sports associations handle sport safety? Should athletes be able to knowingly harm themselves and others (like in boxing or MMA). How should coaches be held responsible for playing injured players or overworking players, if at all? How should we address the safety of youth in sports? How are normal spectators responsible for lack of safety in sports? How should we address sports safety in youth leagues? Should youth be allowed to participate in sports with a high chance of long term injury?
