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.
