What sports do you watch or play most regularly? Do you think violent sports such as boxing or MMA (mixed

martial arts) should be banned as they are inherently dangerous? Have you ever been to a live sporting event? If so, what was it

like? If not, would you like to? Does Brazil have a problem with hooliganism? What are the

causes and what solutions are there? What’s the best way to keep fit in your opinion? How do you think Brazil should fight obesity, especially among

children? Do you think the Brazilian government was right to spend so

much to host the World Cup and the Olympics? Will the benefits outweigh the investment in the long term?
