Kapitel 10 - del 1
Social scientists believe that there is more in sport than just playing sports and getting exercise. But also that there is a large community seriously in it. Simple style where you play only becomes more and more unpopular.
In the United State are the top 3 of popular sports: football, basketball and baseball every game played on a team to win.
In sports, people of different races and backgrounds get an equal chance to excel. For this reason, notes sociologist Harry Edwards, Americans view organized sports as “a laboratory in which young men, regardless of social class, can learn the advantages and rewards of a competitive system”.
Women’s sports have grown in popularity in the United States, and they now have more funding and stronger support at the college level than in the past.
But when the social community is in the top, slogans are used to drive home the competitive virtues for the young players.
Still when the players really like to have a community, the coach don’t want to lose a game, they mean if someone says: “Don’t worry that you lose: you played a good game anyway” it isn’t good enough. They are play to win, and override maybe the player’s social life a bit.
In the United States they also start more extreme sports. Like river rafting, rock climbing and motorcycling.
