Sport vs. Politics

I think that as a society it is easier to relate to sport rather than politics because it is an area that most everyone can relate to and is familiar with. When it comes to sport, people grow up either playing it or watching it which gives them a better understanding of sport itself. By being around sport from such a young age, it gives people the chance to continue to follow what may interest them throughout their lives. As for politics, people do not necessarily relate to them at a younger age, which unless you are someone who understands and is interested in them, you will not choose to follow. Politics serve as a way for people to state their opinions and discuss issues that are going on in our country. These topics may not always interest a majority of people because it is not something that everyone might know something about. Sport serves as an entertainment arena in which people can watch without really having to think or express their own opinions.
