FOOTBALL-----------------------SPORT
Well, we start right off with good ole American Football
Thank goodness Football made the cut, and is rightly classified
as a sport, because if Football didn't make the cut, I would have
to seriously reevaluate the points system that was used to distinguish
a sport from a non-sport.
So why is Football a sport? As you can see from the points it received,
Football ranks very high in all four areas of the grading system
and received the maximum of 30 points in competition. Football ranks
a little low in the area of skill, only 21 points; one can certainly
argue that running the option is just brute strength and speed,
not much skill to that.
The competitive nature of Football is unparalleled, from the players
to the coaches and even the fans (just attend a game in Oakland
wearing the visitor's jersey and you'll see what I mean).
With that said…
FINAL WORD: SPORT
