Wrestling is tough, it is a sport much from its participants, but if one has the courage to step out on the mat dressed in a uniform that leaves a little imagination and challenge another human to a match to see who the better man is. Danger can be found in every sport, and wrestling are no more prone to injury’s to soccer, football, track stars, lacrosse. Wrestling creates a sense of accountable for one’s actions. Those that work hard, succeed. There is no one to hide behind; every flaw and mistake is brought forth in a match. It takes a great deal of mental toughness and sacrifice nights with friends for extra practice and consideration, favorite food to lose the extra pound, and sleep when one needs to wake up at 4am to go for a run before school begins. That competitive nature of clashing with another human being creates a sense of community within the wrestling world. Those that have never participated in the sport have a tough time understanding this. Opponents’ must shake hands before and after, showing respect for the other fighter, win or lose. It is uncommon to see administration in the form of an embrace even after one has lost a tough battle. These values are created through combative sports, and stay with a wrestle for the remainder of their…

“The Boxer’s Heart: How I fell in love with the Ring” by Kate Sekules emphasizes sports can be a way to fight against stereotypes female roles. The source states, “Personally, I have not finished kicking against a prescribed female role that restricts us.” She believes that there is no limit to our characteristics and stereotypes shouldn’t define us. Another piece of evidence is “This contradiction implies that qualities customarily associated with masculinity (aggression, drive, forthrightness, ebullience) are useful, whereas those generally tagged feminine (gentleness, kindness, self-deprecation, and concern with appearance) are dispensable, verging on undesirable.” In addition Kate Sekules writes, “Show me a female boxer who wasn’t a tomboy…

There are many other differences between these sports. For example, in football, the game is a series of plays of short bursts of action; after each play both teams then regroup to prepare for the next play. The difference in Rugby is that the action stops for shorter periods of time, this is because after a player is tackled, the ball is quickly rolled to a teammate, and play resumes. Lastly, Rugby is a more international sport, whereas football is played mostly in the continent of North…
Many compare the National Football League (NFL) with college football but the two are not extremely similar and should never be compared. Yes, besides a few minor rule changes the NFL and college football are the same game; but there is much more to football then the rules. College football is better than the NFL for a wide variety of reasons. First, there exists more passion in college football all around the sport. Passion cannot be measured in anyway but can be observed and understood by the fans, coaches, and sports community. Players care more about the game and less about money, while the fans have great passion for the university they attend or attended. The lack of an influence money has on the game is admirable. Also, tradition is so vast in college football a game day experience cannot be compared with those of the NFL. The special rivalry games and in stadium events makes college football great. Rivalries, passion, playing rules, and timing are few of the reasons why college football is better than the NFL. Along with great activities like tailgating, the wonderful scheduling, the entertainment, and the comeback friendly rules college football has the best case for why it is levels above the NFL.…
Defining something as a "sport" is not always as easy as you might think. This is because there really aren't any official guidelines as to what makes a sport a sport. Personally, I believe that a true sport should consist of team effort toward a goal, physical fitness and activity, and some form of formal scoring system.…

NASCAR is racing, people all using similarly efficient cars to compete the laps required then cross the finish line first. People consider nascar to be a sport because of how entertaining it is to see humans competing at an equal level to judge the skill of each person individually. There really is only one main goal in nascar, simply win the race. This means there are very few things to actually judge each race on other then the winner and fastest times. Some would argue that being forced to sit in a very hot uncomfy car for a hour so makes it seem like it's physically demanding enough to be considered a sport as well.…

A catchy 22 tourney. It’s a national stage event but it’s not popular yet; national and small. I would wrestle a 220 from Florida in this series and he was much more ready for this than I. Halfway through the match I was down by three points. Only coming from my easy escapes. He was wrestling not to lose and I was wrestling to catch my breath. I…

Kick boxing is one of my favorite sports. It is also called MMA or UFC. Kick boxing is similar to boxing in all but three ways. Kick boxers can use both their hand and feet. But in the sport of boxing the boxer cannot use anything but their hands. There are also more rounds in boxing than in kick boxing. The last way that I see that kick boxing and boxing are different is kick boxers pin-down their opponents and boxers knock them out.…
