The Most Brutal Sports (In Ancient Times)

Sports have been around the world for many years (as you all may know that already). In the Ancient Times, the sports that were being played were more brutal than they are in the present times. Many sports from the ancient times are still being played 'til this day, but are just played differently. For example, Boxing has been around in the ancient times also. Although that is true, it was played very differently. For starters, they did not use gloves back in those days. They used another material but it was basically da same as having nothing at all. Boxing back in the olden days is like a UFC in the present time. Also, people have gotten beaten up way more brutal than how they do now.
Another example of a brutal sport in the olden days was a sport called Fisherman Joust. If you ask me, I would have never guessed a fish sport being a brutal sport as it was in the Ancient times. Fishermen’s Jousting was a sport in which teams of fishermen in boats would try to knock their opponents into the water. This may sound like an easy non brutal sport, but the results could be fatal. Some reasons include that many of the fishermen were often unable to swim, which means they wsould drown. Also, from them playing in animal-infested seas, the players would get eaten alive by crocodiles, alligators, etc. The players would also brutally attack their opponents with their boat poles in an attempt to disable the other fishermen and win the contest. Talk about tough love. Who said going fishing would be fun all the time?

Golf

The creation of golf is a very interesting one. Golf did not really change much since it first started. Basically the only thing that has instead of a wooden one. Tecchanged was the material used to hit the golf ball, which is a metal "stick" now, technology has changed dramatically since it was first played. Because of this, different and more stronger golfsticks can be used for the sport. In my opinion, golf is one of the most boring sports to watch. Theres not much excitement involved. The whole object of the game is to get the golfball in the hole in the shortest amount of hits you can. The person that gets the golfball in the hole the shortest amount of attempts wins the game. Also, during the sport, there basically has to be complete silence, or the players may mess up, and that may cost them the victory. Although I may not likek watching or playing the sport, it is still a very popular sport to watchall over the world. Usually when a person thinks of golf, the first player that comes to mind is a man named Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods made history in 1997 by becoming the youngest player ever to win the Masters. Four years later he took his second title, which is very impressive, and hard to accomplish. His status as a golf legend has inspired a generation of new players. Golf may be a very dull sport for me, but for others is maybe the best sport to ever be created.

NBA and MLB: Why is the majority minority?

In case you fine people havent noticed, the majority of the NBA and the MLB is minorities. Why is this? would this ever change in the future? Studies showed that During the olden days, It was not like this. The majority for both the MLB and NBA were all white people. How did this change all of a sudden? Back in the olden days, minorities were not allowed to play these sports or any sports I dont think (I am going to research on that and get back to you). Some key events led to minorities being able to play these sports. For example, for te MLB, a man named Jackie Robinson was one of the first minorities ever to play in the baseball league. He also broke a few records of his own, so its not like he was a "nobody". Events like this made minority races eligible to play in these sports. As of today, Minorities basically took over the NBA and the MLB. If you would ask me would this change again, I really dont know but I honestly doubt it. The reason is because the younger stars that would want to be in the "big leagues" are minorities also, so I dont think it would be changing anytime soon. Im not complaining anyways. Their skills and dedication really makes us enjoy the sport even more!

NFL: Why so Little Games Played a Year?

Hey my fellow sports fans. Sorry I havent updated my blog in a long time. I have been very busy with school, and didnt really get a chance to do any updating on my blog. Anyways, the thing that I would like to talk about this time around is the amount of basketball games played in a season, as well as the MLB and the NFL games being played a season. The thing that was always brought to my attention is the fact that there are only 16 games played in the NFL (not including the playoffs), and more than 80 games played for both the NBA and the MLB. I understand that the NFL is a very dangerous and brutal sport. Although thats the case, other sports can be just as brutal also depending on whatever is happening during the games. Even though thats true, The goodthing about the NFL not having a lot of games being played a season is the amount of money they receive a year for those 16 games being played. NFL players make a lot of money depending on how useful you can be on a team. Just like every sport, the better you are in the sport the more money you would receive. So I guess its not so bad after all...
