What is Sports?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re like most people, you probably don\u2019t know that much about sports. Sure, you might know the basics, like what teams play in which leagues and what the point of a game is, but you might not know all the terminology. In this article, we\u2019re going to teach you about the different types of sports and how they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll start with the most popular sport in the world: football. Football is a team sport played by two teams of 11 players. The object of the game is to score points by passing the ball down the field and hitting it into the opponent\u2019s goal. To do this, players use their bodies to shield the ball from their opponents and then throw it into the air. If they can touch the ball before it hits the ground, they\u2019ve scored a touchdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To defend their goal, players try to stop the other team from scoring by tackling them or intercepting their passes. If a player manages to carry the ball into their own goal without being tackled or intercepted, they\u2019ve scored a touchdown called a \u201ctouchback\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Origins of Sports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The earliest forms of physical recreation probably involved people throwing objects at one another. This prehistoric form of sport is called tumbling. In ancient Greece, young men and women would tumble down a hillside or climb a tree in order to prove who was the strongest. The Romans also enjoyed tumbling, and they even built an elaborate arena specifically for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
