Sports are an important part of just about every society and country involving everyone, whether they are playing or watching.
There are many types of sports. Golf is an individual sport unlike tennis, in which one player must be at the other to finish a match. Baseball, basketball, and soccer are team sports in which teams play against each other, the members helping each other to win as a team.
Sports often reflect the culture of the countries in which they are played. In many ways, sports define a society. They show how people can make a living by being athletic, and entertaining other people. They give people ways to test their athletic drill against other people. Most of all, they give people something to focus on and follow that is a sort of release from the stressful chores of everyday life.
