On October 31, 2018, the President Jair Bolsonaro announced of the extinction of the Ministry of Sport, leading to the emergence of different opinions and manifestations in cyberspace between October 2018 and June 2019. In this article we aim to identify the Social Representations about the extinction of the Ministry of Sports for Twitter users. For this purpose, we use the theoretical-methodological procedures of the Theory of Social Representations allied to discussions about cyberculture and netnography and for the data analysis we used the Iramuteq software. Therefore, we identified the term Bolsonaro as the central nucleus of the Social Representation. Among the social representations we realized that, for the Twitter users, there is a phenomenon of  blaming of Bolsonaro and its supporters, as some of the high-performance athletes, mainly from Volleyball, besides a concern with the possible consequences of the Bolsonaro management to Brazilian sport.
