Sports


Well its game day night and people are starting to crowd around TV’s to watch their favorite sport, but how much of us really watch the sport? According to harris interactive about 66% of adults in the Midwest watch football on TV.  While that’s over half the Midwest population I think that what we really like about game day is more than just the sport.  
What I find that happens when we go over to a house to watch a football game is that we watch it but also we talk and catch up on what has been going on in really life. Not just what is on the TV. This is also a time when you see ideas being exchanging. WE talk about more than what we see on TV but work and school also.
While what sports we play is very similar to what we watch.  Football was the top played sport followed by baseball and basketball. These games both loved to be played and watched by Americans all over. What I like about playing a game of a certain sport is that it has a lot more actively add into it more than just watching the game.
Some sports that you don’t see every day that become very popular every four years are Olympic sports. Like swimming and ping-pong which, when you have normal cable you can’t watch every day. But when the Olympics come around you see sports you have hardly thought of as a sport.
The most watched Olympic sport this past year was track and field, however I know I watched not just track. I also watched diving, volleyball, and horseback riding which was one of my favorites. Once again when you look back didn’t you also sit with either some friends or family and watch either the opening or closing ceremonies for the Olympics? What we have here is a ting that brings the whole world together. Sports.  
So as you gather around the TV next time to watch any sporting events think about what you are doing. Not just watching a game but helping spread a culture with ideas exchanged around the TV. This is why  I think in the end maybe I should go to that football game party next week so that I can see and enjoy people.
