SPORTS (MOST FAMOUS SPORT,IMPORTANT EVENTS AND ICONS)

My post for today is something everyone one of us have tried or at least heard about sports! Who doesn't love sports? It is a great source of fun and other things. I am pretty sure that every one of us have tried our best at a sport because it is done in school and if you don't go to school,you'r family might have already introduced you to sports. One of the most loved things in my life, sports.

The first sporting event ever held was in Greece at 776 B.C . People before did not have the equipment we have now so the thing used in their sporting events was only their body. Being an athlete before must have been hard because of the conditions and poor medical things before. The first things they probably had was athletics.It was hard before because of the things they didn't have before unlike now where there is sports science and other things that came with time. Sports has come along way from a long way back and now.

I will start by talking about the most famous sport in the entire world, football. It is the most famous around all countries due to the fact that it is very easy to play but to really become a maestro of the game is a very different ball game. Only a few ever reach the top or elite level but when you do reach the pinnacle it is hard to stay. The youth that started playing it  a young age generally follow it til their death and this is  a very big reason why football is the most famous sport in the world. Football is the most famous sport in the entire world and is going to stay that way.

Football also in come countries is not just  a sport. It is true. It has become a unifying force and even more for others. The kits are more like skins. The fans are considered to be new family members. The stadium are considered to be the home. The game is not only 90 mins but can be a lifetime. It is not just  a passion it is an emotion. It is also not just a game it is a emotion. Finally, it is not just a game it is a life because what ever happens out there in the pitch can change millions of lives. Take a look at all the reactions of the time when Sir Alex Ferguson retired and see the reaction of all those people and the tributes made in order of him. In other countries it is a tradition in which the family is supporting the same club from generation to generation. Football is not just the most famous sport because it is truly more than just  a sport.





Football is a ever evolving game. This causes changes coming in terms of dominance or style of play in at least every 10 years. The players at a elite level need to push their game or adjust in order to still be considered elite. The players that are the best need to be given respect because they are what keeps the game interesting and they give you that entertainment. The best of the best are usually that reach the top at  a young age and stay there. Today, the game is much more faster more pass and move if you were to compare it with before. This is probably because athletes today are better,faster,stronger and are given more and more knowledge. The change in the dominant formations or the best new style also keeps it interesting and makes the game a whole lot better.

The sport is also in that spot with all other sports trailing is a huge thanks to the stars who make it so great. The sport is also full of them the list would be so long and I honestly don't know who all of them are. I am still young which means the legends that I know are the ones that I have come by although I still do know a few who were already retired by 2008. The stars make the game entertaining and there are also some fans that get drawn in by a player's skill and so start supporting the club the player is playing for. Players do those memorable moments in the pitch and they really do deserve the credit.

The thing that makes the sport really famous are the clubs. The clubs history,tradition and prestige are the ones that are supported and the things they do on the pitch makes the sport famous. The sports most historic and prestigious club in world football is Manchester United. It may not have the same amount of trophies with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Ajax or Porto but it has the richest history and is the biggest club in world football. Just look at the club's fan base. The thing that makes me think of United as the biggest club is the history and colossal amount of fans. United started out as an average team unlike the latter who were already top dogs and the competition in their leagues are a 2- horse or even 1- horse league. No other team in La Liga can compare with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Manchester United plays in the best league in the world and still manages to dominate the trophies.Especially since Real Madrid has had the buying of buying Galacticos (players at their prime and are elite and pry them away from their clubs). Seen with the transfers of Bale,Ronaldo,Kaka and Beckham The history especially the Munich disaster is really what made United be remembered as a club that does not give up. The clubs are really the main source of fans for the sport. Football will surely remain as the worlds uncontested sport in the world.

This is the end of this post. I have given you a piece of football's history and if you thought that this was long you really haven't had  a taste of a quarter of the story. I hope you have learned something and I hope you enjoyed reading this. Bye!
