Why do we play sports? Sociology of Sports.

Why do people play sports? There are many reasons why sports of all types exist, and new sports are created. But what about the players themselves? Why do they choose to engage in the activities rather than just sit and watch TV? Your paper will dive into the reasons why people play sports!
Write a 5 page paper on why people play, their motivation and their purpose. Make sure the paper is cited from your research and includes your Reference page. Your paper needs to have appropriate references for supportive evidence! Note: Reference Page is not a quantitative part of the 5 page content.
