Without a doubt a majority of citizens in the United States would rather talk and watch a sporting event rather than talk or watch politics. Sports are entertaining and something anyone can participate in. That is why I think Americans would rather get involve in sports rather than politics. Also, you have to be very informed on issues debated and educated to understand and properly argue politics. Sport is simple to many people. The thing that would need to change would be values within our country. We put to much importance on sport rather than focusing on world and state affairs. But the main is many people are just not willing to educated themselves on the politics, they rather have someone else do the work for them.
