Sports VS. Art
Last week we talked about Sports and Arts and the similarities and differences between the two. I thought that how we were comparing the two was kind of awkward, awkward in the sense that we didnt really draw a line or narrow what aspects of the two we were comparing. I believe the argument started with what in both art and sport could be classified as beautiful and then expanded to if art is compaable to sport and vice-versa. I just wanted to say on the later that I think everybody is entitled to their own opinion but I feel that sport is comparable to some forms of art in certain ways and other forms in other ways. For example Music is very comparable to football for they are both forms of entertainment and both have draw huge crowds (game or concert) however in football there is a great dealof contact between the participants and in music there is none. This is a very basic example but I think I made my point that sports and art are comparable but inorder to compare them you need to narrow down your variables so that you may be able to accurately gauge one versus the other.

I agree with your assessment of our debate in class. We tried to connect art and sport in too broad a sense. I also agree that there are certain aspects of art and sport that are similar. One comparison I like to make is between sports and a good drama/play. One of the great things about sports is the range of emotions you feel as a player and observer and the unpredictable moments that occur within the game. In a good movie or play you also feel this range of emotions and see surprises.
