politics vs sports
In today's society the public is largely influenced by what we see in the media. Today sports media have become one of the most popular forms of entertainment. Sports are covered so heavily today, that it is easier to obtain information about sports than politics in some cases. The fact is that younger age groups are attracted more to sports than to politics, and sports media caters to their needs. We are far more informed about what is going on in the sports world then we are about what is going on in politics.

I agree that to the younger age group sports are more attractive to them than politics. Sports are easier to follow and a lot of younger people are more active in sports than politics. I think that a majority of younger people would rather watch ESPN instead of CNN or CSPAN. I think that when people get older and politics play a bigger role in their life, then they will take more interest.
