WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPORTS AND GAMES
A sport is a physical activity dispensed beneath associate united set of rules, with a recreational purpose: for competition or self-enjoyment or a mixture of those. A game is a recreational activity involving one or additional players, outlined by a goal that the players try and reach, and a few set of rules to play it. The most distinction between sports and games is, we will play sports solely outdoors. However games will surface each inside and outdoors.
Now here we discuss about sports.
1. Athletics, there were signs from the college
sports world, that we are seeing a new wave of sports fandom. Spring sports are
a major goal of sports fans so, for fans of college athletics, as the weather
turns cold, you can imagine why many fans would be crossing their arms and
hoping their fan club (or even fewer fans) appears in that spring game. The
shoe ad seen below reminded me how I once considered myself a sports fan, only
to see the new generation of sports fandom take over.
As every
new fan is finding out, is that "hygge" (weather permitting) is a
very important part of participation for sports. It is always exciting to see a
new-gen fan, and I am sad when spring sports is cancelled. This spring season, the
college baseball season was cancelled by most teams due to the weather. The
scrapping of this season doesn't seem like much of a controversy, but fans of
ball, be disappointed.
While I do not support baseball teams with
politics becoming more involved in their games (specifically with politics), it
is important to remember that we have games to watch and it is our job to show
up on time. If you still plan on attending a game, there are time and travel
options so you don't have to drive so far to come to the stadium.
2. Fans are excited to see the Jazz take on the
Lakers as the high-profile NBA matchup. Fans will go out in stores and cities,
wearing their best threads in true Jazz mode (not in a trash truck in any
fashion). As member of the Jazz fired a blatant attack at his former team, fans
are raring to take their turns grabbing their cell phone and standing on our
head as the starters warm up. While there is a new-gen fan in the stands, in
this case, the fans are still filling that stadium, still supporting their
local team.
As seen in the poll below, 51% of sports fans
say that they will still attend a live sporting event, even though the
nightmarish matchup takes place on the weekend before Thanksgiving.
3. If you were the kind of fan who painted your
house gold and went grocery shopping in size-10 drinking glasses just to boost
your chances of seating near the front of the line for when the game is
televised, then you may have underestimated how many people in this country
still see being a sports fan as embarrassing.
Instead of buying a size 9 (my favorite), I
would suggest that you get a shirt that says "Patriot" and then leave
your seat at the last quarter if you want to stand and watch the game. If you
want to be a sports fan, buy some small-sized shirts, polo shirts, and tank
tops that are long enough to be seen from the field.
Not just any ticket that you want to snap with
the crowd, but one that really shows off your sweatpants. Meanwhile, those in
the front of the line still celebrate and just cheer for their team, just
without the alcohol feeling.
4. On the front lines of the sports scene is a
group of fans who still write about sports, even though they do not frequent
the local sport books. Sports betting is taking off, but don't be surprised if
the sports books are still open. There has been a rise in this sport betting
business.
Before this NFL season, around 20 states have partnered
and signed with a fantasy sports gambling company to license the sports books. Across
the state, along with social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook,
have been marketed as sports gambling names, and many "digital 'happy
hours' are still hosted by social gaming companies." Online gambling
companies have gained an incredible amount of attention on social media.
By this, I mean the companies that manage the
fantasy sports games themselves, and the fantasy sports companies have been
buying and contracting social media platforms to reach their young, millennial
audience. With this targeting of a 20-something customer group and the
millennial audience, I was able to find myself being a sports fan who wanted to
watch the sport at the local sports bet shops, but found myself lobbying with
them to have a fantasy sports section of the sports shop, because after all, if
a fan can afford to support his team through social media ads, social media
should be supported.
5. Sports betting, fantasy sports, and online
gambling will become popular in the foreseeable future. As apps that require
smartphones become more popular and more gaming companies are enticed to come
out and advertise and sponsor sports teams, so will the sports betting
companies, as well. It's really possible that one day fans will be logging onto
