Introduction
Sports are an important part of our culture. They provide entertainment for millions of people around the world. They also give us something to talk about and bond over.
There are many different types of sports, and each one has its own unique appeal. Some people prefer to watch traditional sports such as football or basketball, while others prefer more extreme sports such as skateboarding or BMX.
No matter what your preference, there is almost certainly a sport that you can enjoy watching on television. In this article, we will take a look at some of the most popular sports that are on television today.
List of Sports
There are so many sports that it can be tough to know what is on and when. This comprehensive list of sports will help you stay on top of all the action. From baseball to football to hockey, find out when your favorite teams are playing.
Football
Football is a sport that is played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field. The object of the game is to score points by touching the ball to the ground in the other team’s end zone. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Football is a very popular sport, and there are many different leagues and competitions all around the world. Some of the most popular leagues include the National Football League (NFL) in the United States, the Canadian Football League (CFL), and college football. There are also many different international competitions, such as the World Cup and the Olympic Games.
Baseball
One of America’s favorite pastimes, baseball is a game of action and strategy. Two teams face off against each other, with each trying to score runs by hitting a ball and then running around a series of bases. The game is played on a diamond-shaped field, with the bases arranged in the shape of a square.
Basketball
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five active players each try to score points by throwing a ball through a 10-foot (3.048 m) high hoop fixed to a backboard at the opposite end of a rectangular playing court. The game is played under the rules of FIBA (International Basketball Federation), the sport’s governing body, which as of late 2012 has 172 member countries. A regulation game takes place in four quarters, each lasting 10 minutes at professional level, but only 8 minutes at high school level and below. Each team scores points by shooting the ball through the opponents’ hoop, with the amount of points gained dependent on how far away from their own basket the shot was taken and whether it was swished through without touching the rim or backboard. Successful shots can also be awarded bonus points if they are taken outside an attractive part of the floor known as the three-point line or if they are ‘dunked’, executed so that player goes up to tap his feet on top of the rim before hanging there for some duration afterwards and receiving credit for successfully completing a shot while airborne. If a player committed more fouls than would logically allow them to stay on court during one period then they will be ‘fouled out’, leaving their team with fewer players for what remains of that period.
Soccer
Soccer is a sport that is played by two teams of eleven players each. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the other team. Soccer is typically played on a grass field, but can also be played on turf, artificial turf, or concrete.
Hockey
Hockey is a sport that is played on ice, with players using hockey sticks to hit a small, hard ball into the other team’s net. Hockey is a popular sport in many countries, and there are professional leagues in several countries.
