How important are sports in our society?

'Our' meaning the United States of America...

I have seen two 'strange' looking cats the last two months and a possible 3rd... they looked kind of like mountain lions, just a tad (and I mean a tad) smaller, maybe in their youth stage...

So I typed up 'wildcats' in the google search engine and all 10 results were not about the animal itself, but about teams who carry their mascott...

just found that interesting...

thats interesting, but i think sports are a product of our country and its rugged individualism as well as our competitive spirit and yearning to be the best at everything we do. as these sports become more international, i think those competitive qualities are rubbing off on other contries. oh, and the reason there arent many entries for "wildcats" is because my family hunted them all with our coon dogs back in the '80s and there aren't any left ;)

Isn't that a shame? I've decided that if I were every to move out to the country, I will purchase no less than 100 acres, gotta keep that open country alive, force people to build skyscrapers...
