Sports in the USA

Some of the most popular sports in the US include Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey and Tennis. Many of them share similar characteristics like having teammates or mainly men who play these sports. A typical game day at a Football game would have many people in the crowds, loud fans, concession stands filled with hot dogs and chips. There would also be athletes in uniforms and most likely a mascot. Some values that are conveyed would be good sportsmanship or a good team effort. The way we measure success in US sports is sometimes by rankings and how well some teams do compared to others. Another way would be by measuring how well specific athletes do. Some specific characteristics that we associate with successful athletes would be by how well they perform, their stamina, and possibly their rankings compared to other athletes. Lastly, one main factor that is important in sports in the USA is the fan club. I think that every team needs some type of fan club that is supportive and active in participating in activities such as going to games and cheering on the athletes who are performing.
