On this blog I tend to talk a lot about video games, with the occasional table top rpg or collectible card game, and even a couple times board games.
One type of game that has not been mentioned is sports. Sports are a very important type of game, one that facilitates exercise, thinking, and teamwork.
I'll be the first person to say I know nothing about sports. The only time I say "Get the Quarterback" is when I am advising a friend on how to make change. However, I respect and acknowledge the important role they play in our society.
Sports are a constant source of entertainment for the easily bored human mind. A single game usually is close to two hours, occupying us with something to do.
The players are provided with careers (therefore money), and sometimes fame. They also get to do the things they love, as most professional athletes, aren't professional athletes without wanting to be so.
Finally, it provides an insight into our culture. When watching the Olympics, you can tell things about each country based on what sports it's good at. Canada tends to be good at hockey, fitting that they happen to be in the northern most part of America.
Sports are very important, and well never go away. While I personally may not be the type of person to compete in them, they can be fun activities for just a while, and make great entertainment. The bonus of exercise is great too.
