Sports , Competitions, and Athletics

With sports - football, cricket, ice hockey, boxing –

the key is to have two opponents which are well matched.

There is a chance, then of a 'good' game - with attacks on the defence,

surprise moves (both individually - with a player getting around his

mark with bluffs and feints - and as a team).

American Football has endless series of team moves

designed to outwit the opposition.

With athletics, the struggle may be one against another –

but also an assault on one's own personal best.

The strategies and ambiguities are different - watch next time with this in mind,

and you will see the substructure.
