As a result of these changes sport has reached an all-time high in popularity in the United States. 
In a sense, sport developed out of play. Play according to Huizinga (1979) is a “free activity” that involves rules, a desire to play, freedom, imagination, tension (uncertainty and chance), and creates order. The aforementioned characteristics of
