Even before the first Olympic Games women have been prohibited and excluded from participating in sports. Thus, today I am going to discuss the changes to women’s sports and how these changes occurred over the past 50 years. So to begin we will look at the…

– as of 2013 . $25.4 billion US dollars is spent on average per annum on professional sports in its various forms . Competitive sport, undeniably, has a strong vice-grip on today’s society in the United States and all across the world; and inequality is an issue that has plagued society from the past, and despite continuous efforts to reduce its presence, has yet to be eradicated.

In the article “ Why Competition Excites Us”, the author, Ellis Cashmore, believes that there are a few reasons for being excited to sports. First, life is too predictable. Brill believes that our lives have become organized too well and became unchanging and boring. In order to explain the fans’ attraction to sport, the author describes the human being as animals ready for battle and conquest, for blows, strokes and swiftness. The second reason, from the author’s point of view, is life is too…

NASCAR has a demographic problem. The motor sport’s top-level Sprint Cup series holds the current title of having the oldest, most politically conservative and least diverse fans of the major professional sports leagues. It feels as though NASCAR has always been this way, as if a requirement of outlaw country culture is included in the team regulations. However, over the past decade NASCAR has suffered from a steady decline in television ratings, forcing the association to change in order to…
