Activity Introduction
Think about your favourite athlete’s uniform, or perhaps the stadium they play in. What is always there? Logos for companies selling all kinds of things. But have you ever stopped to think about why? And whether or not it’s okay for any type of company to sponsor sports? In this activity, you’ll investigate sponsorship of sport by companies selling unhealthy food.
