The Facts Boxing vs. MMA
In: Travel & Leisure
8 Jul 2009Mixed martial arts has made a big splash with sports fans in recent years. A reality TV show about the UFC (the official organization of MMA fighting) brought a lot of publicity to the sport; leading many take an interest in the sport. There has been some concern on the part of boxing fans that the ever growing popularity of MMA has detracted from the attention paid to boxing. However, the two sports are very different from each other and there is no reason why the popularity of one should be in inverse proportion to that of the other. MMA isn’t boxing and doesn’t pretend to be. There’s no reason at all that the two sports (and their fans) can’t coexist.

Is It True Hockey Still A Major Sport?
14 Jun 2009Not very long ago, hockey was right up there with NFL Football, NBA Basketball and Major League Baseball as one of the most popular sports in the US. The other three are still going strong, with the NFL still dominant in the American sports scene.
These Changing Landscape of American Sports
14 Jun 2009The American sports scene is a constantly changing landscape; the sports which were the most popular a century ago have lost their status and new sports have pulled ahead of the pack. However, it doesn’t take a hundred years for the priorities and tastes of American sports fans to shift. Tastes can change in a few decades or even a few years time. Sports go in and out of vogue for many different reasons; good timing, a stroke of luck or spectacular events.
We tend to think of baseball as the American national pastime, but is this sport still worthy of the title? Baseball hasn’t been the most popular sport in the US for quite some time now and even though it is undeniably an important piece of our national heritage, it doesn’t occupy the same place of prominence in the American consciousness which it once did. Baseball has largely been replaced both as a form of entertainment and as a shared cultural experience by different sports and activities.

Masters Golf Winners
7 Jun 2009Among the highest honors a professional golfer can achieve in their career is to be one of the Masters Golf winners. The Masters, of course is one of the biggest events in golf. One of the four champion ship tournaments on the PGA Tour, this event is held at Augusta, Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club, which is unique among the hosts of the major tournaments in being a members-only club, something which has sparked some controversy in the past.
New Yankee Stadium
5 Jun 2009Spring 2009 is just around the corner and Yankee fans will be able to visit the new Yankee Stadium. Of course, it will be a little while before fans warm to the new stadium – these are indeed some big shoes to fill. Yankee Stadium has seen a lot of history come and go in the South Bronx over its 86 years; but the new Yankee Stadium will replace something great with something even greater; the new $1.3 million stadium promises to be a worthy addition to the team and to the city of New York.
