Art vs. Sport

After watching the Bears play a horrible game, I can only imagine how the morale of the city is going to go down significantly. Rex Grossman played horribly and Colts just ran all over the Bears. It was an embarrassing loss for the Bears.

This week we argued excessively about whether sport is art or entertainments and so on. In my mind, sport and art are two very different things that both fall under the category of entertainment. Sport is a battle. The victor has something to gain, be it glory, money, or respect. In art, there is no competition. Art is inherently about the creativity and the aesthetic appeal. Whereas sports, in my mind, is about the competition. yes there is a certain aesthetic appeal to sports, but when it comes down to it, if there was no winner and loser, many people would not follow sports as closely as they do now.

Baseball season is nearing and I am very excited. I find baseball to be a thrilling sports. First, because the game can change with one swing. Second, because it is impossible to predict who will come out on top after the long roller coaster ride that is the baseball season. GO PHILLIES!!!
