[TRIVIA]
The Prince of Tennis 10.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 11/02/2001
Although heā€™s lived in the USA, he still prefers Japanese food and isnā€™t fond of Western food
People tend to be aggravated by him due to his abrasive personality, but he means no ill-intent by it
He gained his arrogant and abrasive personality from growing up in the USA
He will speak his mind regardless of how it sounds as he believes itā€™s a way of being kind
His first name is written in katakana rather than kanji. Itā€™s alluded that it may be due to his mother being another nationality besides Japanese
Konomi had Ryoma wear a hat since he thought it was cool, and wanted people to associate his FILA hat with him
He is called ā€œShortyā€ by Kikumaru but does not mind it since he states height doesnā€™t matter in tennis
He likes grape-flavored Fanta/Ponta
He keeps everything he needs for school in his tennis bag, hence why he gets confused when some items are still in it
His personality is described as pessimistic, but shy, gentle and always striving for improvement
Konomi originally did not intend for him to be the protagonist. The role was originally going to be given to Kintarou, with Ryoma being his rival. He initially thought Ryoma would be difficult to portray as a protagonist, be better as a sub character and that making him the protagonist would dampen the mood of the series. He eventually decided on Ryoma and built the other characters around him
Konomi describes him as a ā€œbad guy,ā€ and that him defeating people who are even worse is a focal point of the series
The Prince of Tennis 20.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 12/04/2003
He is described to easily get engaged in a single subject and then excel in that area
When he concentrates, he will become so absorbed in what heā€™s doing that he will not pay attention to his surroundings
He is described to be suited for professions that require special skills, such as a pilot or astronaut
He is very susceptible to change and has an insatiable desire to become stronger
One of his favorite subjects is chemistry since the science behind the substances changing, combining and gaining different properties reminds him of tennis
He does not remember when he started playing tennis, and states he thinks heā€™s been playing it since he was born
His secondary sport would be soccer
The Prince of Tennis 40.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 12/04/2007
He is described to be sociable and lively, but doesnā€™t get too involved in his personal relationships and tends to be reserved
His friends and schoolmates often visited his house when he lived in the USA
He did not know what ā€œOld Maidā€ was until he played it at the joint training camp with Rokkaku
In Genius 305, when he had won his match against Atobe and everyone huddled around him, someone had quietly handed him the shaver, but itā€™s a mystery on who it was
He considers Kintarou to be quite strong, and wouldnā€™t mind having an official match with him someday
He is the character Konomi states he has the least in common with, the second being Tezuka
The Prince of Tennis II Official Character Guide: PairPuri Vol. 2 | Publication Date: 12/04/2009
He takes naps around the training camp along with Jirou

He had gotten his hat mixed up with Sanadaā€™s
The Prince of Tennis II Official Character Guide: PairPuri Vol. 5 | Publication Date: 03/04/2010
He likes his grilled fish with not many bones and finds removing them to be annoying
The person he currently dislikes the most is his father
If he had a long vacation, he would go play tennis on the western side of Japan since he states they have strong opponents
He wants to win all four major world tennis championships
When asked what kind of plant or animal he is like, he replies with a cat since theyā€™re free-spirited
When asked what his current goals are, he replies that he wants to fight more stronger opponents and win against them
He is named after Ooka Echizen, also known as Ooka Tadasuke
Konomi came up with his ā€œSelfless Stateā€ technique since he wanted to write a story where the main characterā€™s dormant power would awaken when faced against an unbeatable enemy. And since Ryoma was a returnee, he had him speak in English to surprise the audience and give his scenes a fantasy-like feel
Konomi corrects his statement that Ryoma didnā€™t win national USA junior tournaments four years in a row, he had meant that when Ryoma started tennis, he had competed and won in regular USA junior tournaments four times in a row
Konomi states he has tried drawing Ryoma more mature as the series progresses and draws Ryomaā€™s shoes and racket bigger to make him appear smaller

6:30am - Woken up by his cousin
6:45am - Eats breakfast while half-asleep, goes to school

The items Horio had brought to the camp for him were Fanta/Ponta
The Prince of Tennis 20th Anniversary Book: Tenipuri Party | Publication Date: 08/02/2019

Sports in a Solarpunk World
Tumblr media
Let me end this week with another question that I have seen discussed a ton within the Solarpunk community, when it comes both to worldbuilding and imagining a better future.
What would sports look like in a Solarpunk future?
Usually the discussion of this topic centers around the topics of tribalism and rivalry and whether sports, which usually have the goal of winning over others, are really in line with the collectivist Solarpunk mindset.
I, meanwhile, see the real issue with sports in something else. Say it with me now: Capitalism.
But let me quickly explain: I do not think that in general things were two or more parties are in rivalry with each other and play games were one person wins and another looses are really a big problem. Winning and loosing is okay and it is not anti-solarpunk, as long as not too much value is linked to the winning.
The tribalism, of course, is more of a problem. But the tribalism is actually also quite linked to the entire capitalism thing.
Hear me out: If we talk "sports" right now, we usually talk about the big leagues. What that means might depend on your country. In Germany we might be talking about soccer and handball. In the USA it might be football, baseball or basketball. In Canada it is probably hockey. And in Japan probably soccer and baseball.
You know. Those big sports, where people in the country might actually know somewhat who is right now the top of the league. And who at the bottom. Where people might actually know when the big finale of the season happens and what not.
These sports... primarily exist so that a few people can make money.
No, the issie is not soccer or baseball or even football (though that one is close), but the organisation behind it.
Being from Germany our big sports is soccer of course, and as such even without being interested in it much, I know way too much about all the corruption within the FIFA and how there is a good chance, that actually to some regards the winners are actually decided before the games and what not. Like, it is a fucking swamp.
But of course the FIFA, the UEFA and whatever other local soccer organizations make fucking millions or even billions with it. With the merchandising of the different clubs, with the entrance fees, with the airing rights and what not. And in that system, where a few people make millions with it... the actual players (at times still teenagers) get exploited, while the big organizations actually make a big win out of the entire tribalism. Because the tribalism means, that the fans of one club over the other will want to "support" their club through buying more merchandise and what not.
And... I am not super knowledgable about other sports and their organizations, outside from knowing how exploited the players are. But I do assume that the financing works quite similarly.
So, let us think about what to change about it.
Here is the thing: Sports is fun. Both watching it and doing it is fun. It is good for people, too. It builds a sense of community. Or can do that, at least. So, sports totally should exist. And it does not really sound like horrible, if we were to say "No more big league sports", because... If people are good at a sport and like doing it and other people like watching it. Why not?
But instead of making these fixed clubs and linking them to a city or what not (while the players are not even from that city)... That kinda sounds bullshit. It makes for tribalism and for this entire merchandising stuff, that makes the entire thing so unsustainable.
So... Just allow the players to form their own teams each season. New teams every season. Something like that.
And during those games... put player well-fare first. Sure, people might still get injured, but... Do not encourage it. Make sure that people are safer than they are right now.
I honestly do not know, how this might look in detail. But I am rather sure that the sports are not the problem, but the entire sector of few people getting rich over it, while explointing everyone else.

Rip Baek, they wanna make you an American football stan šŸ¤” I never understood Super Bowl tbh, some performances aren't even good anyway
Lol you're saying the Mbappe x RM saga will finally end? If he plays and behaves well be my guest, but it's on sight Kylian!!!
It's always sad seeing top players struggle in the NTs, because they're doing all the work. The disproportion is really big. I can't blame other players since a lot of them don't play in CL clubs, but it's so embarrassing sometimes šŸ˜­
So brother Baek could've been a cricket star?! Omg damn that injury sounds nasty though. I don't know shit about cricket actually. Tbf my wrist was already twisted because of another evil team ball sport called HANDBALL. My spaghetti arms couldn't take it lolol, I'm decent at basketball though! I did break two of my fingers while playing, but šŸ˜…
Pique thinks he's a spy or a detective trying to "expose" RM every 4 months, let it go... I can't believe Shakira got with him, girl??? I had to show some of the best football moments to my ignorant USA friend and I ofc sent her the Zidane headbutt and Suarez biting, culture <3
It happens every year so I don't think Salah cares? Good for him, but on the other hand I'd just stop posting at this point, cause the comments are getting worse and worse
Harry Kane being a disappointment isn't anything new lmao. Believe it or not, but I unfortunately have some Spurs fans among my friends and they're often mad at him
Omg, yeah see suddenly everyone knows everyone. Bestie I don't go to weddings, but I probably heard the songs you've mentioned, got me all curious šŸ‘€ Riverdale was filmed near you?! I'm so sorry, that's so bad šŸ˜©
Is the Yunho fic hot & cold too then? How's it going?
Hwa is a mystery, because no way he wouldn't be able to take Hongjoong down. Sometimes he does this though, soooo šŸ¤” runner Hwa AU... I'm manifesting
I hope Hwa will be able to attend EXO's concert šŸ¤žšŸ» I wouldn't mind a free ticket either, heh. Uhmmm wow, Neymar Jeongin stan... I better not see him at EXO World though

Seonghwa stans Taemin and Taemin is Jesus, Taemin has passed his role to Seonghwa! But why did Woo say the choreography is tough, but Hwa said otherwise lmao. Maybe Seonghwa isn't doing anything šŸ˜­
Btw this person spoke the truth a fear, but they're booing them ausyshshjsjsjsbababsb. If they saw our opinions ā˜  can't say shit on that app, because everything is anti behaviour
Halazia on the other hand seems nice, at least in contrast to Paradgim, idk if I'll be obsessed cause I'm used to them spoiling half the song so I'm not sure how I feel yet ajuduwuwsjjsjssjs, but everyone's already calling it SOTY ofc šŸ˜­ the performance spoilers what's going oooooon, feathers?! My issue is the cb is at 6am my time AGAIN???!!!! What happened to later comebacks, fuck America I know it's all for Billboard!!! šŸ˜­
LMAO gitl, so someone asked if the person on my lockscreen was my girlfriend??? And it's Christmas kitty Hwa I almost died

yEAAAH! itā€™s cringe to even watch, i skipped so many of portoā€™s matches bc of it inconsistency in the plays and the ups and downs,,, if i compare them to argentina u could tell they all worked in a TEAM even if they got messi in, for porto it was like ronaldo was the only one being the definition of TEAM but when heā€™s benched it just crumbled,,, but i guess a lot of them have an experience now and hopefully put up a great fight next wc!

go for the gold!! xiao chiye @ the olympics (hwtask14)
i have a couple options for chiye. if he had his memories, i'd put him in equestrian eventing, because that involves cross-country, jumping, and dressage. he would do really well at the first two (not as well at dressage), but he'd definitely medal. however, my chiye at present does not have his memories, so i absolutely can't throw him on a horse. his other potential physical advantages are that he's tall (he's 6'4''), his arm strength is fairly impressive, and he's a great communicator under pressure. so i think a team sport would be his best bet! especially because (according to his false memories) he did a lot of team sports growing up, so he has the practice being able to work with other people and coordinate their efforts. being on a rowing team would be a good option, though i think he needs a little bit more of a mental challenge than just the repetitive motion of rowing. basketball could also be a decent option, though speed itself is not his greatest strength; he could be the person the rest of the basketball team always tries to get the ball to in order to dunk it, but i think he'd get bored doing that too. rugby is also an alluring alternative but in the discord someone (june?) joked about him being on the handball team and i actually think that's most accurate, because handball really requires both mental tactics and physical strength in a way that chiye would enjoy. it's a contact sport! he'd love that! he'd want to be more on the offense than the defense but could handle doing both-- plus his height would really help. i'm going to estimate that chiye would help his team win at least a silver. in his current memory-less state he'd be on team usa, and so he'd wear whatever the team usa outfit is/use the team usa trading pin. he would make a lot of social media posts coordinated with his teammates, and if he was given control of the team account he'd end up getting them in a little bit of hot water with the teasing comments he might leave on other teams' posts or videos, though he wouldn't do anything troublesome enough to get them eliminated or fined. if he went viral for anything, it'd be for video footage of him executing some insane play that shouldn't have been possible, while also being stunningly handsome. people love a good-looking olympian and he would eat up the attention, actually. he would want to pay for his own, far more comfortable accommodation outside the olympic village, but if his team really wanted him in the village he'd end up staying there anyway. and he's the kind of person who would watch/cheer on the olympics at home only if he were out at a bar with friends; if he's home alone, he wouldn't bother watching.

Okay, first of all, equality would be this:
Tumblr media
Because, frankly, if female nipples have to be covered, so do male.
But also, this was from 2021 ish? And the outfits for handball did change:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can google ā€œinternational handball federation rulesā€ to find the pdf this came from. For some reason tumblr wonā€™t let me add the link on mobile.
As for volleyball, here are the uniforms for the upcoming olympics:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Google ā€œolympic volleyball uniform 2024ā€ to find that pdf.
This is the most recent sports uniform controversy that Iā€™m aware of: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/15/1244773342/nike-team-usa-women-uniform-revealing-olympics
Tumblr media
It should be noted that Nike explained that these were merely ā€œoptionsā€ that the track and field team could choose and that there is a womenā€™s outfit that includes more material than this (shorts), but I would still question the fact that Nike chose to initially showcase only the high rise wedgiewear as potentially sexist.
Are sports uniforms equal now? Nope. (Hey womenā€™s gymnastics, have you improved at all in recent years? Somebody let me know, Iā€™m at my research limit for the day) Are the protests and demands to change it working some? Yup. Keep getting pissed off. Stay pissed off. There are larger causes, but these ā€œsmallerā€ ones are all symptoms of the big ones. Theyā€™re worth fighting too. Give no quarter to these controlling ideas!
And while youā€™re pissed off about appearance based sexism, go look up some intersectional issues like Black womenā€™s experiences with being told to wear their hair in ā€œprofessionalā€ ways. Or Muslim women wearing their hijab. These problems all still exist too. If weā€™re gonna be mad, letā€™s go for the full rage, yah? I basically exist on spite and chocolate these days anyway.

Week 3: The Male Gaze & Gender in Advertisements
Tumblr media
How Sports Illustrated Presents Men VS Women
When you tune in to watch womenā€™s sports, what do you see? Other than the phenomenal athleticism and fierce competition, thereā€™s an undercurrent that often goes unspoken. The sexualization of female athletes through the lens of the "male gaze." This isnā€™t just about skimpy outfits, itā€™s about how women in sports are portrayed and perceived, subtly shaping our views and their experiences. The concept of the "male gaze" sprang from the realm of film theory, thanks to scholar Laura Mulvey. It refers to the way visual arts and literature depict the world and women from a masculine point of view, presenting women as objects of male pleasure. In sports, this perspective translates into how cameras linger on female athletes' bodies, how commentators discuss their appearances, and even how their uniforms are designed. More about aesthetic appeal than functionality.Ā 
So, how does this gaze appear in the world of sports? Itā€™s in the slow-motion replays focusing on body parts rather than athletic action. Itā€™s in the advertisements featuring female athletes in provocative poses unrelated to their sport. And yes, itā€™s often in their uniforms, designed to attract attention rather than optimize performance. For example, beach volleyball players have long been known for their bikini uniforms, which many argue are chosen for visual appeal rather than athletic necessity. Contrast this with male volleyball players who wear tank tops and shorts. The difference in coverage is stark and speaks volumes about the intended audience's gaze.Ā 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Men's Beach Volleyball Uniform VS Women's
A current example of this is the new Nike uniforms for Track and Field. These uniforms are supposed to represent team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, people were quick to notice the stark difference in the uniforms between the Men's and the Women's. The uniforms are being called "inappropriate" and "skimpy" (Li). Laura Fleshman, a former athlete calls the uniform "a costume born of patriarchal forces that are no longer welcome or needed to get eyes on womenā€™s sports." She continues by saying, "If this outfit was truly beneficial to physical performance, men would wear it. This is not an elite athletic kit for track and field." Fleshman alludes to the uniform being crafted by "the male gaze" by saying the uniform would have looked different if they were designing it purely to benefit athletic performance.
Tumblr media
Another example is from the German gymnastics team's protest customary at the 2021 European Gymnastics Championships, where they chose to compete in full-body suits. This move was extensively reported and applauded as a protest sexism in sports. The Norwegian beach handball team was also punished for competing in the European Championships in shorts rather than the compulsory bikini bottoms, highlighting the rigid and frequently sexualized clothing regulations placed on female athletes (Olympic Analysis).Ā 
The male gaze is not only prominent in crafting uniforms, but prevalent in female athletes advertisements. The sexualization seeps into media coverage and sponsorships. Female athletes are frequently asked about their personal lives and fashion choices, and even their roles as mothers (Bell). These questions are less commonly posed to their male counterparts. This type of coverage subtly shifts the focus from their skills and achievements to their roles in traditional gender stereotypes. Research highlights the impact of this skewed portrayal. Studies have shown that media coverage of women's sports is significantly sexualized compared to men's, affecting not only public perception but also the athletes own self-image and performance (Williams). Female athletes often feel pressured to conform to certain physical standards to secure sponsorships or media attention, which are crucial for their careers (Williams).
youtube
Example of gender role stereotypes and gender displays in advertisements. Danika Patrick, a professional race car driver, being presented in a sexual way for a Super Bowl commercial.
Throughout these challenges, there is a growing movement to develop and redefine women's sports. Advocates aiming at changing uniform regulations to focus on functionality and comfort are gaining ground. Also, thereā€™s a push for more respectful and equal media coverage that focuses on the athletes' skills and achievements without unnecessary sexualization. Organizations and campaigns worldwide are calling for media reform, promoting hashtags like #CoverTheAthlete, which challenges media outlets to cover female athletes based on their performance rather than their appearances (Bell). These movements underscore a critical demand for change, advocating for a new way of viewing and valuing women in sports. one that respects their prowess and dedication.Ā 
The journey toward fairness in sports media and representation is ongoing. It calls for a collective effort to recognize and dismantle the ingrained patterns of the male gaze. As audiences, we can drive change by supporting media that respects and highlights female athletes for their talents and achievements. Letā€™s cheer for the incredible skills, the hard fought matches, and the unbelievable moments of true sportsmanship. Over everything, the true spirit of sports lies in celebration of human potential, not in the sexualization of athletes' bodies. So, the next time you watch a womenā€™s sports event, take a moment to consider what youā€™re really seeing, and how you can be part of the change in how the world views women in sports.Ā

Volleyball: A Dynamic and Fast-Paced Sport
Ā Volleyball is a thrilling and dynamic sport that captivates both players and spectators with its fast-paced action and strategic gameplay. Played by millions of people worldwide, volleyball has evolved from a casual beach pastime to a highly competitive and organized sport. In this 800-word exploration, we will delve into the history, rules, techniques, and the global appeal of volleyball.
Tumblr media
History of Volleyball:
Volleyball has a fascinating history that dates back to the late 19th century. It was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director in Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA. Morgan aimed to create a new sport that combined elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball, allowing for a less strenuous activity suitable for older adults. Originally called "mintonette," the game underwent a name change to volleyball when a spectator observed the volleying nature of the play.
From its modest beginnings, volleyball quickly spread across the United States and then internationally, becoming an Olympic sport in 1964 for men and 1964 for women. The FƩdƩration Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), founded in 1947, governs international competitions and ensures standardization of rules and regulations.
Rules of Volleyball:
Volleyball is played on a rectangular court divided into two equal halves by a net. The objective is to score points by grounding the ball in the opponent's court. Each team consists of six players, and the game is played in sets, with the first team to reach 25 points winning the set. If the match extends to a fifth set, the winning team must reach 15 points.
Players rotate positions after winning the right to serve, and the team that wins a rally earns the right to serve next. Points are scored through a variety of actions, including spiking, blocking, and defensive plays. A team is allowed a maximum of three successive touches to return the ball over the net.
One of the unique aspects of volleyball is the libero, a specialized defensive player wearing a different color jersey. The libero is allowed to replace any back-row player without prior notice to the officials, enhancing a team's defensive capabilities.
Techniques and Strategies:
Volleyball is a game of skill, agility, and teamwork. Key techniques include spiking, blocking, serving, digging, and setting. A spike, often the highlight of a match, involves a player forcefully hitting the ball over the net, aiming to score a point. Timing, power, and precision are crucial for a successful spike.
Blocking is another essential aspect, with players forming a human wall at the net to deflect the opponent's spike. Skilled blockers use impeccable timing and read the opponent's intentions to disrupt their attack.
Serving is the initiation of each rally and comes in various forms, such as the float serve, jump serve, and topspin serve. A well-placed serve can put the receiving team on the defensive from the start.

TCU Horned Frogs team 2022 shirt
I remember aĀ Real Women love football smart Women love the TCU Horned Frogs team 2022 shirtĀ memoir ā€” Beasts, Men, and Gods ā€” by Ferdinand Ossendowski, a White Pole who fled the Bolshevik revolution through Siberia. He served in General Kolchakā€™s All-Russian Government before escaping through the Steppes north of Mongolia, and then participated in the government of that most notorious adventurer, the ā€œMad Baronā€ Ungern-Sternberg, who attempted to take over Mongolia to restore an imperial Khaganate as part of an imagined reactionary restoration of the Great Mongol, Chinese, and Russian monarchies in the interests of the ā€œwarrior racesā€ of Germans and Mongols (a Baltic German, he considered the old Russian ruling class to represent Germandom over and against Jews and Slavs). Some of the things ā€“ the acts of desperation and madness, in which he himself was no disinterested observer ā€“ Ossendowski relates are harrowing. But this part struck me as very much making a point about what peopleĀ thinkĀ of the Steppe peoples, and of what (German-trained) nationalists like Ungern-Sternberg did (and would do again) to the Mongols. And, other things:
