cultural impact of sports

   

     Society and culture go through many changes throughout our lives. Many people are brought together and separated, but one thing that never changes is the worlds love for sports. Sports are famous for the way they bring all of the worlds people together into one community. Whether it be Football, Soccer, Hockey, Basketball, Baseball (etc.) No matter what the sport, no matter what the country, no matter what the ethnicity, EVERYONE loves to watch some kind of sport. This country is full of love and passion for sports, and I have always found it true to be able to count on sports as the world wide connectors, Sports are the reason for many friendships, many relationships, and many AMAZING memories with loved ones.
     I moved to 9 different places. This means that I have gone to 9  different schools, lived in 0 different neighborhoods, been on 9 different soccer teams, and had to make new friends 9 different times all within 16 years! Do you want to know how I continued to sucessfully make friends? SOCCER, that's how! Soccer has always helped me conintuously make friendships, and those friendships have lasted forever. It has had a HUGE impact on my life and continues to do so. Many different sports do the same things for millions of other people around the world. That is something that even people you may never meet will have in common with you, and if you don't think that's incredible than I don't know what is
     Strangers hugging strangers, crowds going wild, tailgaters sharing food. Those are all of the makings of a sports game. The love for the game pumps through everyones blood, causing them to get amped up. No one cares if the person they are talking to is a stranger because they have one thing in common and that's sports. All sports create a strong passion that is strong enough to break down cultrual barriers and bring everyone together. It's a force so powerful that even the people it workd it's magic on don't realize what is happening. It's a beautiful thing honestly. People loving people. Sports is one of the last thing on earth that keeps this world sane.
     So wether you play chess, are the star quarterback, or your favorite teams #1 fan, you are a very important part of society and it's beautiful. The world is full of some crazy, terrible things but sports is not and never will be one of them. So keep on wearin that facepaint, and continue to score the winning goal because you contribute to societies culture way more than you think!
