Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determinant of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports (a common name for some card games and board games with little to no element of chance) and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors. Sport is commonly defined as an organized, competitive and skillful physical activity requiring commitment and fair play. Some view sports as differing from games based on the fact that there are usually higher levels of organization and profit (not always monetary) involved in sports. Accurate records are kept and updated for most sports at the highest levels, while failures and accomplishments are widely announced in sport news. The term sports is sometimes extended to encompass all competitive activities in which offense and defense are played, regardless of the level of physical activity. Both games of skill and motor sport exhibit many of the characteristics of physical sports, such as skill, sportsmanship, and at the highest levels, even professional sponsorship associated with physical sports. Sports that are subjectively judged are distinct from other judged activities such as beauty pageants and bodybuilding shows, because in the former the activity performed is the primary focus of evaluation, rather than the physical attributes of the contestant as in the latter (although "presentation" or "presence" may also be judged in both activities). Sports are most often played just for fun or for the simple fact that people need exercise to stay in good physical condition. Although they do not always succeed, sports participants are expected to display good sportsmanship, standards of conduct such as being respectful of opponents and officials, and congratulating the winner when losing.

Q. I just graduate from college and I want to become a sports agent. I'm having a hard to breaking into the field. Can I get some advice from someone who have an sports agent career? Asked by jw2_2k - Fri Jan 5 19:55:43 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Firstly, I'm not someone in the sports agent field and I apologize if this isn't the answer you're looking for. I've just noticed no one has given you an answer in 3 days and wanted to help. I own a copy of this book, which I find is an excellent resume writing resource, but not only that, it provides excellent insight on how you can change career fields. I highly recommend this to anyone who's attempting to change fields: ISBN-10: 1563705222 ISBN-13: 978-1563705229 You should be able to acquire a copy from your local library.

Said of sports in general"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard for all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting." -- George Orwell, in Collected Essays. "If all the year were playing holidays; to sport would be as tedious as work;" - William Shakespeare, Henry IV, Part I, Act I, Scene II BaseballIt has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Baseball.
