Sports Teach

We are a sports-crazed society.  Football fever ran high in Seattle recently with the Super Bowl win by the Seattle Seahawks.  The Soccer World Cup is going on at this moment and these games are capturing the eyes and ears of the world. 

What can a game of sports possibly teach a person? 

Consider this:

~You might learn how to win honorably.
~If you lose, you could learn to lose gracefully.
~The referees and umpires will teach you a healthy respect for authority.

~Some management principles come into play. 
~You will learn to work within the bounds of a team. 
~And you will learn to manage your time, for there is often a game clock that keeps things moving along.

~And maybe, perhaps, you’ll even learn to shoot hoops, toss a ball, catch a grounder, kick a field goal or increase your heart rate by running down the field for fifty or eighty yards.

Sports could be a good thing indeed.
