Sports in the USA

Sports definitely play a huge role in American culture. You can go watch something live or turn on the TV and you will find something on. The reason why I like sports is because of the energy surrounding the game. I love experiencing all the excitement, cheering, tailgating and winning. People are full of pride and we all share one goal in common, winning. Fans also play their role in the game. They're the support. Everyone chanting, yelling and celebrating is motivating. As an entire society we love internal and external rewards-- it's what drives us. Although losing is a part of the game, we all want to win and if winning isn't everything then why play? There are a handful of sports in the United States that top the charts when it comes to those most watched by fans. Those sports include: NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA. If you knew nothing about the sports in the United States one would think only men play sports but that's false. Men sports are just more watched, advertised, sponsored and supported.  Since these are the most popular sports we will just focus on these four for the sake of the assignment. Sports are a significant part of the American culture because they bring people from different cities, states and coasts together. Professional sports keep thousands of fans entertained and the competition is what makes it exciting. Only the most elite, successful players make it into the league and on the big screen.

Without the athletes, we wouldn't have such sports. These individuals sacrifice their bodies, their time and relationships all for the love of the game. Athletes involved in a sport spend countless hours in the gym, weight room, on the road or on the field to get that W. They push themselves beyond what they think they can do. There's no such thing as limits for the best athletes. They're always improving, persevering and working to beat the latest record. Sports in American make our world go round.
