Sport for me is mostly for entertainment. I only played one "team sport" in high school and I highly enjoyed it. I do partake in running and dancing, but I don't technically consider them to be what society deems "sports". When I think of sports, I think of watching the buffs play Oregon, or the Broncos going to the Super Bowl. I have become interested in watching sports on TV and I love attending games. I think that sports are very entertaining.
I also think that sports are a good way for people to learn perseverance, teamwork, and dedication. I think that everybody should partake in at least one team sport in order to learn these important skills.
As far as US society as a whole, I think that overwhelmingly sports are positive. They provide entertainment and an outlet for people to discuss and be passionate about. They can provide positive role models (such as Peyton Manning). However, I think that sports in society do have a negative streak. I think that sports are becoming too much about money and winning. Along with the positive role models, there are negative ones (A Rod, Lance Armstrong, etc.). There are performance enhancing drugs that take away from the integrity of the sport.
