Sports
One thing that really strikes my mind when I look at the big picture is sports. Sports are a dominant part of our society today, but where did they come from? I can't sit here and give a history lecture on the origin of sports because I truly do not know the origins of every sport, but I can say that I am very involved in sports and love the activity. I play football here at Millsaps so sports have basically always been a huge part of my life. When I think about it, sports are extremely creative. The rules of each game are very complex and go into great detail in order to make each game fair. No matter how simple the game is, almost anyone can testify to the enjoyment that these games bring to us. In order for games such as basketball, baseball, football, soccer, etc. to be successful, the creators must have had to experience the games first and create rules through trial and error. One way to justify that these creations or ideas are creative is to look at our world. Sports have been a common, enjoyable past time for people all over the world for centuries.

i play sports here at millsaps as well and i have to agree 100 percent when you say sports are creative. in my opinion, it mainly involves spur of the moment creativity. athletes make big bucks for their talents, but in my opinion creativity plays a huge role in their talents.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Think about the BIG name guys in the NFL or NBA. They have styles that they "coined" that every high schooler copies. Most of the extra gear that people wear now are styles that were implemented by the big professionals who had to have been creative to come up with the little fads.
ReplyDeleteI have always wondered how sports became so popular. I also play a sport and think that alot of creativity is put into sports. Talent also has a lot to do with it but the creativity is what makes it so unique.
