Sports(especially running)

I feel that in themselves, sports are a very good thing. they provide a competive enviornment where one can challenge themself and/or thier team. i do believe however, that SOME sports have gone out to extremes on a whole new level. i do believe that that many of the major sports are having to many issues between steroids and criminals,ect. they seem to have forgoten the meaning of the sports and now(at least for the US) sports seem to be more about big companies making big money. ands its rediculous and it angers me. i do feel that no matter what, the olympics are a necessary event because it brings the world together and it is a compition to see who is the best in the world. i find it very necissary. i do believe sports should be a part of public schools because it is a way for the student body to both focus on a goal of somekind as well as have fun and be with your peers. And the most impotant thing is that a sport is any phsical activity that you compete against somebody else. even cone ball is a sport. and if you dont agree with me, then you have some major issues either with yourself or people who do sports.
