com"). Team Handball is a game in which two teams of seven players each pass a ball and throw it into the other team's goal. There are six outfield players and a goalkeeper. In the opinion of this author, it would qualify as a sport due its competitive, recreational nature and the existence of a professional association ("USA Team Handball Association").

Sky Diving or parachuting is the action of exiting an aircraft and the returning to earth with the help of a parachute ("How Stuff Works"). While not centralized, this author sees its competitive spirit and participatory nature to qualify it as a sport .

Suits would focus on the competitive nature of sports and how it brings about and promotes team building (Suits, xvi.). This is a quality that will pay off in terms of dividends in almost any field of endeavor. In this case, it would apply even in this author's fields such as actuarial sciences, math study or insurance work. Most issues today involve problem solving and achievement of goals Young people learn about teamwork and achievement-oriented behaviors through team sports. Team sports teach these skills better than any organization outside of the military. In addition, aesthetically, it is worthwhile to cultivate one's character and make oneself strong of body.

Also, there is a spiritual beauty coming from cultivating team working spirit. The goal is not simply to win or to come...

For this reason, sports are very sought after that are based on the aesthetic and moral representations derived from the meaning of the sports event. For instance, the Olympics are played on an international level and transcend national politics and competition. In that one place, nations can compete peacefully and cultivate beautiful sportsmanship that hopefully contributes to a better and more peaceful world. In a time of almost continual war, this is indeed a very welcome and needed distraction.
