1.There Are So Many Types

There are so many types of sports and so many things that classify as sports that you can never get bored. They also have different seasons or periods of time that they happen, so you can literally never be bored. There is always SOMETHING to watch if you like sports.

2. I Used To Play Sports

I used to be a cheerleader. I used to play softball. I used to play basketball. I learned so much from playing sports; about life but more practically about the way each sport is played.

You learn strategies and tricks of the trade, and you gain a love for sports that is more authentic and organic than just seeing it on television. I still watch softball to this day. When they have cheer competitions on tv, I watch those. I watch baseball, basketball, football, gymnastics- all of it.

And I love every second.

3. It's A Good Place For Emotions

If you're like me and you don't express your emotions outwardly necessarily the way I do, watching or playing sports is a good way to go about that. You can scream as much as you want. There is excitement, slight terror and possible tears. There are parts where you have to look away and there are parts where you can't.

Adrenaline, sadness, anger, fear, excitement, and anticipation all in one event? Sounds like a place I want to be.

4. There's Food

If you're playing sports, there are always snacks afterward or team dinner, or at the very least your family will get you a victory meal. As far as watching sports, that's literally what chicken wings were invented for. And sometimes there's pizza. Who doesn't like pizza? There's an assortment of chips and dips. It truly is the best part about sports.

5. Company!!!

Sports brings out the best and worst in people.

Friends can remain friends or become frenemies. Family can cheer with you or against you. You can make friends with strangers in a pub just because of sports teams. No matter the situation, there's always someone to watch a game, dance, competition, or match with.

Win or lose, someone will be there with you sharing the most important moments of your day with you because you wear the same colors or are united under a common enemy.
