What is the Purpose of Sport?

Randy uses this article to repurpose sport. As many of our readings pointed out in class sport has many flaws that need to be worked out. Randy lays out his solution to the issue of over zealous adults and you sport. He wants to change the purpose of sport to learn life lessons first and then physical achievement as a secondary side effect. To an extent I agree with him. We need to start at an early age teaching life lessons through sport. Sport has the ability to bring together people for all walks of life. That is the beauty of sport. Rarely in society do so many cultures to celebrate one single aspect of society. Once all these groups are together for the same purpose imagine teaching them the same core life values. I don't think we can even begin to imagine the effect that would have on society. If we can get everyone on the same page at an early age I think it will be a lot easier to address the other issues within e sports industry. http://sportsleaderusa.blogspot.com/2010/04/purpose-of-sport.html -Rachel Wantuch KIN 577
