Good Sport

Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

I like to think I’m a good sport and will occasionally watch something purely for entertainment purposes. Though as I am an observer of human nature, it pains me when I see behaviour which isn’t very sporting. Sport is all now so monetised, the stakes are so high, that it seems anything goes, and we have lost the point of Sport . So I turn to Shakespeare who knew a thing or two and probably watched the odd game of Tennis as it features in his plays.

“If all the year were playing holidays. To sport would be as tedious as to work” Henry IV Part 1(Act 1 Scene 2

As to me playing sport nowadays. I shall again refer to Shakespeare ” But I , that am not shaped for sportive tricks”. Richard III (Act 1 Scene 1)

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

Easy question that,watching sport is not a rewarding pastime for me.

Doing something where I have to prepare,plan,be active,learn a new skill,interact with others, and develop a strategy.That’s me, and that is sport.Any sport.

I have envied the ladies playing netball on the local tennis courts.They are all ages, and it is very competitive but fun . I’m just not brave enough to go up and join in.
