Even behavior like that can't ruin the blessing of sports. Some people say team sports are too violent. I don't see it that way. Sure, some tool that bites may come about and ruin it for the majority but most organized sporting events are kosher. I myself am very competitive, but I can act like a lady for the sake of the game..and my dignity. Sports actually bring people together. I'm not just talking spectators, I'm talking players too. A team is a great place to forge lasting friendships. Some of my closest friends I have met playing sports. The comradery spectators and players feel is deep.
Sports teach commitment, determination, supportiveness, and responsibility. Seem like good qualities to have to me! Certainly characteristics in look for in people. Carrying those traits to the workplace and in relationships helps people succeed.
Playing sports gets the blood flowing and the heart pumping. Getting that exercise and staying fit to play is good for your health!
Personally, the sense of accomplishment and feeling of being a part of something is great for me. It's not always about the game either. Just a week and a half ago we were playing flag football for charity. That game raised over $20,000 for Alzheimer's research and support. I made some new friendships as a result of that game too.
So my point is, the games and the athletics are blessings, but what comes as a result of the sport is a blessing as well.
