Question

Going in for Sports in the USA

Americans consider themselves the nation of sports fans. A visitor to the USA may be really amazed at seeing how much attention is paid to different kinds of sports. The major sporting events are widely discussed in newspapers and magazines, and the names of famous sportsmen are known to everyone. Special TV channels broadcast championships all over the country. Hundreds of stadiums are built every year. Physical training is a very important subject at school, high school and college. Preference is given to team games, such as American foot­ball, football (called soccer by Americans), baseball, and basketball. In every city one may find a cafe with a dozen of large TV sets showing different sports events. People go to those cafes to route for their fa­vorite team and to talk to friends. It is a very popular way to spend an evening. Great attention is paid on keeping oneself physically fit. Companies spend money on building gyms and arranging sports facilities for their employees. A company staff may have an option of going to a swim­ming pool, a training centre or a golf course for a symbolic fee. The companies are pragmatic doing this. If a person goes in for sports he or she will be healthier and more energetic, and this will do good for the company he works for. Besides, medical care is very expensive, and it is often easier to prevent a disease by giving a person an opportunity to look after oneself than to pay the insurance afterwards.
