sports influence

I would have to say that I do think sports mimic war in a way. Only some sports mimic war with violence, like football, boxing, fencing, and other body contact sports. You basically get to hit someone and get away with. Sports are good for people to release anger without killing someone like war does. It also mimics war because sports have certain teams that they go against each year. In war you have certain allies and alliances that you fight against or with. Sports like volleyball, golf, tennis, and swimming don’t mimic war with violence. They actually mimic war in the win or lose aspect. Sports can also be negative because some players get involved in steroids, which can change the mindset and attitude of the player. It can become negative when a person always looks at life like a competition. People with competitive personalities actually annoy me, because you can never have fun with them. Sports could release never ending violence and make a person become aggressive with friends or family. But it can also be positive, because it allows the player to release their anger on the sport and not on a person directly. It also helps in school to keep a student’s grades at a certain grade point average. Sport can be very positive because it exercises our body. Exercise always leads to good health. Sports can relieve the stress or tension that we hold inside our bodies. Many people look at athletes as role model; this can help lead people to a positive outlook. Sports influence our culture, especially in Chicago with the White Sox and Cubs. It is a source of entertainment. This type of entertainment can only entertain viewers from television. In the real world direct contact with another person can lead to imprisonment. This question can be answered in many ways due to the way a person was raised. If you were raised knowing that you shouldn’t do drugs or steroids and keep the violent side of your personality in the sport, then sports can be seen as a positive influence. But if you were raised believing that you chose your own destiny and whatever happens happen, you only live one life, you will possibly venture off into the negative influences of sports.
