Cultural Differences

      Professional Sports has impacted our culture in many different ways. When people are different races and have different cultures that doesn't mean anything when it comes to sports. When you play sports and you are going out there to win the game, your not going to care what the other person looks like or acts like your out there to win. Having different cultures is also a good thing during sports because that brings people that are different together. Different people are sometimes better than there teammates in the sports that they're playing, which is also a good thing. This is a good thing because this brings the too players together and better. When you play on a team with players that have different cultures because of their culture it might have an influence to make them better at the sport, which you may be interested in learning about. Finally pros have an influence because your favorite player could have a different culture than you and your really into how he plays the sport so you want to learn about it.

     It continues to influnece our culture every day. This does have its ups and downs though. Some of the negative effects of this are sterotypes, for example there is a sterotype that blacks are better than anyone at basketball, but if you look at the NBA there is white people. Some of the times when people are influenced they think that they need to take it wicked serious, like the players that they're influenced by. That can cause drama and maybe when they're playing their emotions can get in the way and have them not do as good during the game. Some positive effects are that if your influenced by a great player and you practice and try as hard as you can all the time, and take your time out of anything you can to become the player that influenced you, you'll become a great player. I know many people that have had that happen to them and they're great players in the sports that they play, and even off of the field or cour they're just a great person. 

     Overall sports has had a great influence and impact on my life. All throughout my life the people in my life have wanted to become the greatest sports players that they could be. For example my dad was an outstanding wrestler all throughout college. He was undefeated his senior year then sadly got a kidney infection and couldn't wrestle in sectionals or states. That was the last time he wrestled because he moved on and became a marine instead of going to college. Also my brother wanted to become a great wrestler, which he became, He ended up becoming the captain of Xaverain Wrestling during his Junior year. He worked all the time every season trying to become the best that he can be. He eventually quit the team because he wasn't happy with how things ended up going with the team. Personally I am very infulenced by my father and brother to become the best wrestler that I can be. 

SuperBowl Sunday 49

     Who is going to win the Super Bowl, thats what everyone is talking about now. I personally think that the New England Patriots are going to win. I think that its going to come down to the wire but Im with the Pats. I think that overall the Seahawks are a better overall team, but I think that the Pats are going to come in clutch and get the win. With Lynch on the Seahawks the Pats are going to have to really play solid defense in the front line. Also Revis and MCourty are going to have to makes sure that their game is on point because they need that defense on those wide receivers. Overall for the QB's Brady is a much more talented and experienced quarter-back, for Wilson he is a young player and doesn't have that much experience but yet is a really good QB. The Pats receivers I think are better than the Seahawks, they play very well together and Brady is always there to have them pumped up and focused, but they are going to definitely need someone to cover the big man Gronk because he is unstoppable! That is why I think that the Pats are going to win Super Bow 49.

What is a Sport?

     What is a Sport? In my opinion a sport is an activity that requires physical work, where you have to work towards scoring a goal. I think that this is a sports definition because people overall work hard everyday! If you work hard everyday thats just a lifestyle. In sports you need to work together as a team to achieve the goal your working for. Like in basketball you have to pass, communicate and shoot, that takes a lot of hard physical work. On the other hand I do think that some sports shouldn't be called a sport, and some people might agree with me. I also think that there are many under viewed/watched sports like UFC. I don't know why these sports aren't watched that often but people have their choices.
     I do not think that many sport should be called a sport. I don't think that baseball, polo, swimming,   track, or lax should be a sport. I don't think this because these sports are just plain out boring and overall many people do not like them. With swimming you aren't really doing anything your just racing swimming around in a pool. I could see if you were swimming and having to score a goal I wold consider it, like Water polo. Overall I don't think that many sports should be called a sport because they're just boring and many people do not find them fun! I think that if your are going to play a sport you should be able to have fun!
