The International Cricket Council has again led in a study by Burson Cohn and Wolfe (BCW) Sports on the most followed International Federation on social ...

The Dubai-based ICC comfortably leads for highest number of followers, most posts per day and most interactions per day on Instagram, the most followers, posts per day and interactions per post on Facebook and the most posts per day on Twitter. A large cricket fanbase in markets active on social media contributes to its success, and BCW Sports believes that its following makes it "very attractive" for potential partners, including the International Olympic Committee with the sport one of nine under consideration to be added to the programme for Los Angeles 2028. The International Federation of Teqball slipped to 10th after a marked decline of 46 per cent to 3,407,496, which is explained by the closure of one of its channels. Volleyball enjoyed the biggest growth in the top 10, with the social media of its accounts of Volleyball World, the commercial arm of the International Volleyball Federation, recording a 35 per cent increase to 12,459,334 which kept it in fourth place. It was followed by FIFA with 51,433,519, up 25 per cent from 2021, and the International Basketball Federation with a 12 per cent increase to 15,545,303. Having taken top spot in the 2020 and 2021 BCW International Sports Federation Social Media Ranking, the ICC recorded a 16 per cent growth across its platforms for a total of 92,211,411 followers.

Students at Cedarville are taught that any and all gifts they have can be used to glorify God. Athletic ability is a gift and students on sports teams are ...

There are many debates about what a sport is and the definition of sports is flexible from individual to individual. The amiable interactions between players are one of the ways Cedarville sets itself apart from other college sports teams. The emphasis on the community between players and teams is part of Cedarville’s Christian worldview, especially humility and fellowship. Arms are unlocked and the players stay to talk, or they part ways to head home after a grueling game. Contrary to stereotypes, the gym atmosphere is full of friendly students who are always willing to help one another. They are on the way to the gym for practice, to the weight room, or coming from the locker rooms after a team meeting.

Some of the coaches appointed at national camps have been sexually harassing women wrestlers for years.

Star wrestler VineshPhogat accused Brij Bhushan Sharma of sexually harassing female wrestlers. The group of wrestlers were protesting against Wrestling ...

Sports bodies have to take the lead and set conditions right so vulnerable athletes feel secure to come forward and complain. It’s a very complex situation, and a monitoring mechanism independent of the sports federations would be the first step towards protecting female athletes. Commonly reported types of sexual harassment include “‘repeated unwanted sexually suggestive glances, jokes, comments, etc.’, ‘unwanted physical contact’, [and] ‘ridicule.’” There is a culture of subservience in sport and therefore ‘grooming’ becomes common, making it very hard for athletes to come forward and complain. Sexual harassment and abuse within the sports industry is suspected to be significantly underreported due to social conditions that discourage disclosure. Most sexual harassment and abuse is perpetrated by people in positions of authority within the sport industry, often coaches. Wrestlers VineshPhogat, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia and other wrestlers demanded action against the Wrestling Federation of India chief and other officials against alleged sexual exploitation of several athletes.

Equal opportunity and a level playing field are the least that women in sports in India are entitled to while we expect them to win laurels for the country.

As for those who still choose to speak up for the rights and reputation of the accused, one is reminded of an incident in 1998 when Rupan Deol Bajaj, an officer of the Indian Administrative Service, spoke out against senior police officer K.P.S. While campaigns such as #MeToo go a long way in enabling individual women to come out and speak, the lack of response and abdication of responsibility at the top ensures that many go scot-free. At that time a senior editor had (in)famously opined that India as a nation ‘does not know how to honour its heroes.’ Bajaj took her fight to court, which ruled in her favour in 2005. Such complaints threaten to disrupt the ties that have evolved between the sports bureaucracy, politicians and the corporate sector. There is need to deal with incidents of sexual harassment by meting out exemplary punishment. The complaints that have been registered need thorough investigation.

Dhoni: When sports stars finally lay down their racquets, bats or weapons of choice, is it curtains for their brand endorsement game, too?

A successful second inning also depends on the type of athlete and the level at which they have played, adds Singh. This is most notably seen in the case of sports personalities like Ali, David Beckham, Pelé, Diego Maradona, Tendulkar and Dhoni, he says. It’s probably impossible for a retired sportsperson to be in the endorsement game like they would be in their heyday. There was a period when a number of amazing cricketers retired one after the other — Sourav Ganguly, A closer look at the mechanics of sports stars’ endorsement deals says a lot. “Since the 1983 World Cup win, he has been getting offers for ads. For Neerav Tomar, MD, IOS Sports, the answer lies in “legendary brand value” — a term he uses to describe a concoction of factors like on court and off court presence, achievements in the field, contributions to the sport, a scandal-free image, etc. But there are a lot of factors at play. Of these, only Sourav and Sachin are still endorsing brands. [Dhoni](/tag/dhoni), the shift is mainly in price points, mostly a price reduction and correction, and in the categories of brands more suited towards their TG, he explains. Athletes who have proved their mettle at their chosen sport can be worth a good endorsement post their retirement. Take, for example, the brands that ex-cricketer [Sachin Tendulkar](/tag/sachin+tendulkar)endorses today — mutual funds (AMFI), BEST buses and used car marketplace Spinny, among others.
