    I wouldn't go so far as to say that sports are the best thing man has created, but they're pretty close to the top.

    They are demanding activities that not only improve us as individuals but also are entertaining to watch.

    Hmmm
    Considering sport is nothing but ordered physical activity.. I would have to say yes... say.. everything else.

    It is amazing that when you mention sports most people think of TV..

    Sport as an activity is one of life's great pleasures.

    Sport on TV is dull and repetitive..

    I think sports serves/have served higher purposes than fun.

    playing sports is one of the best things ever. pretty much anything you find in a sporting goods store is great. watching sports doesn't make any sense though. somebody explain the point of that please.

    I have played and seen many sports in my time, and I notice that sports in today's world is for bullies.

    I have something far superior to sports: music.

    Can't stand watching sports on TV......fucking hate it with a passion....but ask me to play them and i am game....i can go for hours on end playing sports that are popular and urban created...i.e handball etc....


    Just can't watch them. Also is it me or are the professional athletes paid way to much??? yes they put their lives on the line and their image and they take unbarebale amounts of scrutiny but......I don't need to see $$ bill signs in derek Jeter's eyes everytime he smiles.

    I like watching the odd hockey game, but playing it is my passion. Sports near the top if my list of the best creations.
