Sometimes it may seem like it,but eating,and waiting for the bus aren't
the only fun (!) activities that Americans enjoy. Americans love their sports.
They play sports, and they watch sports;their kids play sports, and they watch
their kids play sports... You get the idea. Organized sports make it easy for
adults and children to join local teams and play the favorite sports
competitively. Local towns have sign-ups each season for various teams.
Heck,our husbands think they're superstars of the over-40 soccer team! (They
still think they're 21,but that's a topic for another book.). Many companies
sponsor teams, and their employees practice and play after work. On weekends,
lots of people love to catch a game, either on TV or at the stadium.
Although Americans enjoy almost every sport,major league baseball is
often considered the all-American sport. Couch potatoes enjoy watching every
game on TV. The season's high point is the championship series between the top
two professional teams. Yes, even though the teams only come from the U.S. or
Canada, the championship is called the World Series. I guess the baseball world
is smaller than the real world.
When the seasons change, so do the sports. Soccer (yes, we know the rest
of the world calls it football) is becoming very popular, and a pickup game of
basketball is always fun. But in the winter, Americans love their football!
(Yes, we know the rest of the world call it American football.) And what could
be better than combining two favorites: football and food. The concession
stands at any sports activity are always crowded. No health food here; the
favorites are hot dogs, fries, hot pretzels, peanuts, and beer. In fact, the
last football game of the season, the Super Bowl, is a hugely popular event
with lots of parties and, of course, plenty of junk food. Yum!
