Some people do not feel the same way about sports as I do. My roommate, for example, does not play sports and rarely is interested in watching them. Sports don't have the same the effect on everyone. But for me and for many other people, sports are more than just hobbies or activities to people like me. Sports are what we look forward to every day. The rest of our days are spent looking forward to meeting up with our friends and playing some sort of sport. We base our social lives off sports. There's nothing that can keep us away from the fields or the courts. We are dreading the day when we are too old to play sports competitively anymore, and even then we will find a way to be involved in sports. We want to do anything related to sports, not just playing it. Sports are not just a part of our lives, they dictate our lives.
