Sports have a long history and it was originally the domain of the wealthy who didn’t do manual labor but could focus their attention on athletic ability.
Today team sports are big business with player celebrities. The result of this big money has led to sports corruption and cheating in the form of steroid use, falsified academic grades, game fixing, and hedonism of major athletes.
Some sports cause many accidental sports injuries which is the result of humans trying to set records or pushing themselves beyond their physical limitations. The Olympic goal of trying to set new record performances has led to risky behavior and many sports injuries which ruin an athlete’s physical health which they suffer with in later years.
Sports star’s reputations have been damaged and many are no longer considered outstanding role models for the young to follow.
Team sports in public school leave many students feeling inadequate, unsatisfied, and even bored having to participate and mostly watch the glorification of star athletes over and over again.
Realistically in the modern technological age team sports for the individual are not very useful because adults rarely can get together enough team players to have a game and get some exercise. Individual sports are far more practical and can be used to get exercise more frequently and without logistic complications.
In individualized sports you compete against yourself and in the process stay physically fit and feel a sense of accomplishment. Unfortunately many team sport spectators have become couch potatoes not getting any physical benefits from the game at all.
CONCLUSION:
Team sports are the source for entertainment, relaxation, and conversation for many. If you are smart then you will get pleasure from individualized sports such as fast walking, running, skating, roller skating, bicycling, skateboarding, windsurfing, surfing, skiing, snow boarding, jet skiing, bowling, and golf and an occasional exercise routine of deep knee bends, push ups, squat thrusts, etc. to relieve stress and maintain your physical health and agility.
Pair sports such as tennis, handball, and racket ball are also a good alternative if you want someone to motivate you into exercising.
