I have never had a blog before this class, and I'm still deciding how I feel about it. I don't think, however that I'm going to keep this blog going after class is over. I could try I supposed but I think I would just forget about it most of the time and end up not responding to anyone's comments (if there were any).
I think a blog could be a good idea for some people who like to read about the opinions of others, which I guess I do to a certain extent. However, I will be honest and say that I don't keep up with sports nearly enough to have any opinions to write a blog about. If I kept a blog, I would definitely have to change the subject.
Anyway.....I can't believe this semester is almost over! It went by so fast!
Before this class started, I wasn't sure how I would like it, but I decided to take it so I could learn a little more about the recreation/sport side of my major. Some parts of this class were difficult for me because I really don't follow sports very much at all. A lot of names or events we talked about in class, I was unfamiliar with. However, I did learn a lot about ethical issues and major times in sport history.
I think my favorite part of the class may have been learning about sport in the old days. I was amazed by the evolution of sport and how rules and the game have changed over time. The Victorian Age and their standards of sport or things like gander-pulling still amaze me. I can't imagine living in a time like that.
Overall, I'm glad I decided to take the class because it changed my perspective on the sports world. I may actually pay a little more attention to games or sporting events I see on TV because I can see if from a different point of view now, rather than just entertainment.

Good reflection on the process of keeping a blog. I think the key to doing a successful blog (which you certainly have done) is keeping up with it on a regular basis. I wish I had been able to post on your blog (and others) more regularly, but it seems as if you had many "followers" who did so. Even if you do not decide to follow sport blogs, perhaps you will see the efficacy of following blogs on other subjects. I was amazed to see how widespread the growth of blogs had become.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the events about sport that you most enjoyed. You did an excellent job on writing your blog and I enjoyed reading your entries.
