This is but one example of the negative ways sports controls our lives. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate sports at all. I enjoy watching a game once in a while and have a favorite team. It's just the way that some people make watching it life. Like my brother, they would rather watch a sports game, any sports game, than something better that was on.
Sports controls many lives.
They live for NFL football on Sunday afternoons and high school football on Friday nights. They spend all their free time looking up stats on the Internet. Ok, not everyone does that, I understand. But I think that America bases too much of it's life on sports. Advertisements and accessories are everywhere you look.
