Blog Post #3: Culture of sports

     Sports in America and all over the world impact the culture majorly. No matter what the sport it is brings the population closer. No matter your race, religion, sexual preference every one comes together over sporting events. People rally in good and bad ways over sports, when a team loses main team fans riot and ruin cities. When the team wins people flood the streets with joy and they have large parades through the entire city. Bars are filled with people, houses are lit up with screams of fans, food being cooked every second, and friendships being created that can last a long time. 
       Sports also pull countries together in international sports. The World Cup pulls fans from all over the world together. People bond over the same liking of teams or players. Another event is the NCAA College Wrestling Tournament, it pulls people from all over the place together to bond over the love of the sport. All for the athletes the sport makes them create bonds with teammates and opponents that can not be broken. Athletics has a large impact on society and culture of countries, but it also effects student-athletes in a good way.
        As a high school student-athlete life is very busy and stressful, but in a good way. Sports keeps me busy and helps me stay out of trouble and make better decisions. I am more motivated doing my school work and studying because I have to keep my grades up to stay on my sport teams. All the coaches and games I have played has made me a better person, taught me to have a better attitude, and made me be more mature. Sports has shaped me to the man that I am today. Even though I do not have a lot of free time due to all my sporting events it has only effected my life in a good positive way. Sports are a great way to escape all the pain and fear in life, this is the only way I can be happy and relieve stress. For me sports is an outlet to life where I can just go in my own world and see my self as a king. Sports have had a huge impact on my life and in the culture all around me.
