bros im reallllyyy high rinnow and I had a crazy ass thought Will sports like ever just stop? If so how? Do you think sports will evolve so much in 1000s of years that the present teams wont be even recognized? ??? Woah Sent from my SM-T217S using Grasscity Forum mobile app

eh. eventually everything will end. but I mean, I don't think sports as we know them will end in the remotely foreseeable future. sports are big business, and they're engrained into society. I think in a way it's human nature to compete. I suppose in hundreds of years people might play different sports, but I wouldn't say for sure. Cause we aren't watching people fight lions in colliseums anymore, but at the same time roman gladiators weren't a billion dollar business (dollars didn't exist back then but you know what I mean.) I guess on a smaller scale you can see it now though. 100 years ago horse racing was a big deal. now people only pretend to care about it once or twice a year, while UFC has become really popular in the past decade.
I work in the Sports and Entertainment industry. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. There is always money and interest in this field and that's just it, you have multiple million/billionaires who own not only the teams but the venues as well. Stan Kroenke, who owns the Nuggets, Avalanche, Rapids... also owns Pepsi Center and Dicks Sporting Goods Park. As do many other team owners. It's been a pretty crazy ass business to work in.
No, "sports" will never end but they do evolve. For example back in the medieval times soldiers used to play futbol (soccer) with their enemy's heads. And gladiators in my opinion has evolved into boxing, mma, kickboxing, etc. So I guess you can say we've become more civilized.... But to dig deeper into the picture, the reason why sports are so highly watched is because of the media. They entertain the masses with meaningless events, to distracting you from the real issues we have in society.
