carke1 on 11 Nov 14When you visit our site you can learn more about the diffusion of a popular sport (soccer) compared to a lesser known sport called croquet. Interact by watching videos and reading more about how sports differ across the world.

smarikunte on 13 Nov 14Your site is very organized. I never knew croquet started as popular culture and soccer started as folk culture. We learned about diffusion in class and it is cool to see a real-life example of it.

samin1 on 13 Nov 14I really like the layout of the website! A lot of other groups did videos but this website is able to incorporate all elements of what would be in a video on to the website. I have one question; does croquet have any relationship with golf? When I was reading that section it looked a lot like golf so I was concerned. The website looks terrific overall!!

jlandis3 on 13 Nov 14You guys did a great job on your website! The organization of the pictures and information was great! One connection that I noticed in your work that we learned in class activities, when we take notes from the book, was that the book mentioned that soccer was banned for a time and later unbanned, as well as it also being called football in other parts of the world.

kharlacher on 14 Nov 14Your website has a nice layout so it's easy to navigate. It's also fascinating that croquet started off as a popular sport and has moved to be more of a folk activity. On the other hand, soccer started as a folk activity and became a popular one.

rdeveney on 14 Nov 14I would have never guessed the croquet started as a part of popular culture. I loved how you incorporated the croquet game from Alice in the Wonderland. This connects to what we learned in class because we read about the diffusion of soccer in the book. I loved your website!

llabell on 14 Nov 14I thought it was really interesting that croquet originated as popular culture, whereas soccer originated as folk culture. Today, in our society, soccer is considered more popular culture, whereas croquet is thought of being more of folk culture. I like how you included that soccer was banned and then legalized again because I remember reading about that in class.
