The Growth Of Sports In America

Sport. It is an inescapable part of our modern lives. From professional sports such as American football to domestic games like billiards, golf, tennis, soccer and boxing, we enjoy competitions, violence, and the sporty spirit all across the world. Sport can be separated into two broad categories; competitive and non-competitive. Among the most popular sports in the US are basketball, baseball, cricket, hockey, tennis, rugby, swimming and golf.

Competitions. Sport involves a number of different activities in which people put their physical fitness, mental abilities, and even their spirits to the test. These activities may include wrestling with fellow competitors, running in competitive races, playing matches or duels, throwing a baseball or kicking a ball, and making sure that the teams do their best. People who have passion in any of these sports may be considered sports celebrities.

Sponsors. In the past, sports celebrities were mainly business tycoons with famous sports personalities as their spokesperson. Today, with more media outlets and digital networks being available, sports celebrities are now made to come out in the open to promote products and events. They are also often used as endorsers by various companies wishing to promote themselves in the sports arena.
