Sports in the 21st Century

Sports in the 21st Century

Sports have always been governed by some sort of unwritten code or unwritten rules, that ensure fair play, and enable consistent adjudication of the outcome. In almost all organized sport, reports of results are kept, and in popular sports, this data can be freely reported or announced in sports media. Many sports enthusiasts would argue that such actions amount to cheating, because there is no physical contact or interaction between players or teams. They point out however, that there is often a lot of physiological and psychological strain placed on players when playing, which may account for some of the outcomes. Whether you agree with this view or not, it is important that you are able to enjoy your sport in the proper manner, rather than risking harm to yourself, or potentially causing other people harm.

One type of sport that falls into the ‘unwritten’ category includes motor sports and street motor racing. Motor sports, like auto racing and Formula one, have been around since the mid-nineteenth century, but their growth and expansion has been facilitated by the growth and modernisation of television and the internet. There are now hundreds of different motor sports competitions around the world, where participants vie for prize money and glory. This has led to a huge growth in the number of motor sports TV and radio events, with a corresponding increase in online sports coverage. Online sports coverage has arguably had the greatest influence on the growth of sports competitions, particularly football. Thanks to the internet and its fast broadband connections, you can now follow your favourite teams and players across the globe from the comfort of your own home, whenever you want.

Another type of popular sports in the UK is horse racing. Racing is a particularly popular sport, due both to the popularity of betting and the glamour that surround it. There are now countless training programs and even national sides who compete in international races, in what is arguably the most glamorous form of sports and recreation anywhere in the world. Horse racing is now more recognised as an exciting and worthwhile sport than ever before, so if you’re looking to go watch a race, why not try your luck at a race?
