Why sport is fun

sport is fun

The most people like sport and some even love it. A few hate it and some don't care. We all have our own relation to sport. What is it that makes a sport so fun? We will try to give you the answer right now.

Kids and rules
Kids like to play. They like to run and they can go on forever. It seems like they never get tired, at least not enough time so they can eat their food. All this is because they are kids. The younger they are the less rules they have when they play. If someone comes up with a rule they can't follow it anyway. When we get older we lose our imagination. We have to come up with more rules. "If there is no rules we can do what we want". When the kids grow older they begin to think that play around in the forest and so on is childish and silly. That's why we older need something we can call sport. We actually do what the children also do but we have much more rules. We need more rules because otherwise we make use of the weaknesses in the rules. An example could be if the only rule in football was that you should try to score goals. Then the game could be very violent. The most cruel teams will win. People could even die so we absolutely need rules. But it is still fun to use the body and to compete and all this. That is fun. Especially if you are successful.

Why do we practice?
The reason why we choose to practice a sport depends. Maybe because we are forced by the our parents. Then it is not fun. It is never fun to be forced to something so don't do that to your children. They will only hate you and try to avoid sport as much as possible. The effect can be the opposite so they hate sport when they grow up and then they can never enjoy it. When we are younger we don't like to practice a lot. We want to compete. When we are older we know that we have to practice to not be the worst player or the one that always comes last. People are afraid of that and if they don't are successful many stops to practice and compete. If we don't use the body we will get problems when we get older so it is absolutely worth it. Sport and health goes hand in hand. People that only want to be healthy but don't want to compete often choose to run a lot. Maybe that is also a sport because you can compete in running a long distance but if they never compete it's not the same thing. Isn't it better to choose a sport that is fun instead of choose a sport that is accepted by the public.

Watch sport
Sport can also be fun when we not are in the spotlight. Maybe we are a fan of a team. Then the fun could be to go to matches together and shout like an idiot. Today we can see much sport in the TV but we don't like to watch all sport broadcasts because we don't think every single sport even is fun. An important factor why we like to watch sport is when a team from our country is competing. If the country is very big you might not care as much than a person from a small country. Instead you might like to watch those from the same city. And of course it is fun if they win. Another reason to watch sport could be that your children compete in a sport. Of course there is many factors that decide what sport we like to watch but we all have to agree that it is fun!
