Sport is an activity for everyone worldwide.Some of them play football, basketball,... Sport brings people toghether and it's a place to have a great time.However, athletes make sport their job.

Historycally, some athetes were famous for their good skill like Colin Kaepernick or James Lebron, but also other stuff: their engagement. For example, Colin Kaepernick protests against racism in his country. Now, Tommy Caldwell, a climber, is also famous for his values. He escaped from his house because there was may climate disasters and he observed that climate change is affecting climbing. So, he decided to create "Protect Our Winter", an association with other climbers to protect winter and mountain in Colorado. For a lot of athletes who give their opinion, consequences are bad: they can lose a lot of money, have a bad reputation, lose their title,...

I believe that actions for unity and world are important to prouve athletes have a heart and they aren't just robot who do sport. Infact, I think that protesting fort a cause can have a good impact because everyone can look or pratice sport. Furthermore, I have no doubt that their actions are good and intelligent but consequences for athletes can be very sad...

For me, sport is important for everyone. I think that giving his opinion in sport for athletes could be normal. For example, a singer gived his opinion and minds in his song, so, why athletes, when he praticing his job, can't speak and protect for a cause ?
