Some more informations about the complicated ones :

·        Golf is placed on tenth position in the list of top ten most famous sports in the world. It is not so popular in middle class because it needs a spacious ground. The equipment’s used in this game are so expensive. Tiger Woods is the most popular player of this game and he is the richest player in the world. It is also very popular in India. Jeev Milkha Singh and Jyoti Randhava are most prominent Indian Golfers. the combination of ball sport and club is golf.  In this game different variety of clubs are there, and each club is use to hit the ball in a different manner. The target is to place the ball inside the holes on the ground by hitting them with the clubs.

·        Baseball comes on fifth position in the list of most famous sports in the world. The basic idea of Baseball is like Cricket. It is not so popular in India because of monopoly of Cricket in our Country. Baseball also gave a plenty of legends to the world. Baseball is quicker in result than Cricket. That is why it is more popular in some countries.

·        Hockey stands on fourth position in the list of most famous sports in the world. Hockey is the national sport of India but the popularity of hockey in India is less than that of Cricket. Like Cricket and Football, Hockey also consists of two tems and there are 11 players in each team. The time period of a game is 1 hour and 15 minutes. Each team has to send the ball into the goal of opposition with the help of a stick. There is goalkeeper to protect the goal from the ball.

Major Dhyanchand of India is famous as ‘ THE WIZARD OF HOCKEY’. Like Football and Cricket, Hockey also has a world cup tournament in every 4 years.

·        Cricket is the second most famous sport of the world. There are two teams in this sport and each team has 11 players. There are many activities in this sport like batting, bowling, fielding, etc. If one team bowls, other has to bat and scoring runs by running between the wicket and scoring boundaries. This sport is controlled by International Cricket Council (ICC). The Indian authority of Cricket is BCCI. There are different versions of this sport i.e. One Day International (ODI), Test cricket and Twenty 20.  50 overs game is called one day match, 20 overs match is T20 and five day unlimited overs match is Test match. India is the two time winner of Cricket World Cup in 1983 under the leadership of Kapil Dev and in 2011 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne, Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Glenn Mcgrath, Brett Lee etc are living legends of this sport. Indian Premiere League is started in India to improve the popularity of the shortest version of this game. The concept of IPL is so good and the players and other officials associated with IPL earn a lot of money and viewers also enjoy to watch the legends playing together in a match. We can say it is the most famous sport in India.

these sports that takes place in the video are the best and entertaining ones as they are really loved by most people. But still some of them  are not familiar for our country. So I think we should practice as more sports as we can to make our life more colourful and lively...

Sports are essential like food or water in today’s World I guess and I’m really happy about that. Because I like sports  with regards of both watching and doing.

There are many types of sports as everybody know. This is probably because of the diversity of people’s interest. But of course there are certain types that majority of people do or watch. Gauging sports popularity is an exciting and challenging task. Fans all over the world of a sport is the important parameter to evaluate their prominence.  There may be various purposes for playing a sport but the viewership is the key factor that enables any sport or sports person leave a benchmark. Be it football, cricket, Tennis or golf each game has quintessentially made sports a magnificent affair globally. Moreover countries like India, Spain, Australia and many more are indeed a perfect host for different leagues and championships making sports events memorable for the billions of fans all over the world. There are hundreds of sports with wavering admiration in different countries across the globe but who tops the list? Now let’s have a look at the Top 10 most famous sports in the world: 

1   .     Football  (Of cource)

In this video, we can see a summary of the wars that existed after 1000 AD to todays. I liked thid video after I watch it and I wanted to share it in my blog for more people watch it. As we see in the video, wars barelly stopped in last millennium. It means there have been wars constantly and billions of people have been dying because of these great number of wars. But why we had so many wars? What is the problem people did not able to solve? Why wars are necessary? What is simple answers for this question? I find these answers :

-We have wars because two or more groups cannot or were unable to agree with idea or beliefs through communication dialog. Eventually each group is forcing for other group to concede to his idea, rather than their own by force. When this force is used, it becomes a war.

-Say I want your property ... You're too small to stop me, so I take it ... Another person tells me to give it back, but I refuse ... now what? Unless those who think I should give it back are willing to use force to make me (war) - I'm not giving it back, and you're out of luck. And then I keep taking things from you, and nobody stops me. Sure, they may call me a bad person and say they won't be my friend (sanctions) - but I don't care. >> Now do you understand why war is sometimes necessary?

Whatever the answer is, innocent people dies because of wars. This must matters us. Human life shouldn’t be so cheap.

In the las of the video, it says ^^ to be continued^^ and it is right because there is always something to make people fight. But in the end innocents get hurt. Maybe this the rule of the World but we hope that it will change…

WARS IN THE WORLD

Why do wars exist? Was there ever been a time in world history when there were no wars or conflicts?   I think maybe there were times that people didn’t fight like  in  the earliest times of humanity when groups of people were unaware of each other . But it is reasonable  to think that even at that times , conflicts , disagreements always existed. Or we can say that they existed with the humanity. But why do people make wars ?  Isn’t  that possible to live without any fight or war? The answers for this question are generally NO for most people. My answer is  also "NO" however  cold it sounds. Because we are human being not angels and this is real world not paradise. Inside of any human being, I am sure there is a evil wish. But of course there are people that can overcome it and ignore these bad thoughts and I’m also sure most people in the World can achieve it but there have always been those that overwhelmed  by his bad desires. When that kind of people face against then wars are inevitable and those of good people are also exposed to wars.

 In history , espcially World wars and some other wars that happen between strong countries take millions of human’s lifes. In the recent years  we can see lots of wars. Starting with a country and then passes the neigbouring countries like those called Arab Baharı. The last country countinues that is Syria, our neigbohood. It is very serious situation for us and we should be careful. The whole World talking about that and there are serious rumours about Syrian government using chemical bombs and nucleer weapons. Here is a news about it from BBC :

The BBC has seen video and eyewitness testimony that appears to corroborate allegations of chemical weapons' use in the Syrian town of Saraqeb. So what do we know about the alleged instances of chemical weapons use in the conflict so far?

Syria's chemical weapons stocks, and the possibility that President Bashar al-Assad's government might use them, has been one of the factors that has most worried observers of the conflict.

In July 2012, the Syrian government implicitly admitted what had long been suspected by experts in the field of chemical weapons proliferation - that Syria had stocks of chemical weapons.

Damascus said the weapons, stored and secured by the armed forces, would never be used "inside Syria", but would be used against an external attack.

I hope these conflict , war finishes as immediate as  possible and those people living there find peace in shortest time. We should pray for our fellows. Hope the God will help them…

            FOOTBALL TERROR İN THE WORLD

  

As we all see,  football is not just a game, sport ;  it is also a reson , a source of fight , diagreement  or conflict  for those that are the  supporter of the diffferent teams . Starting with the born of  football , we can see lots of example of fights between people that fun of different teams . For instance , a recent incident , in our country , the two most  rival team of TURKEY , Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe played the match and after the match , a group of Fenerbahçe funs  attack a Galalatasaray fun and he used his knife to protect himself and killed one of those men . This is a recent incident and there are many other examples of the football terror in most of the countries of the world . Another example is . 1967 Kayseri Atatürk Stadium disaster refers to an occurrence of football hooliganism, resulting in 40 deaths and at least 300 injuries (according to newspaper Hürriyet's headline 600) during the football match held on September 17, 1967 between the clubs of Kayserispor and Sivasspor at theAtatürk Stadium of Kayseri in Turkey. It was the worst sports-related violence to occur in Turkey.

The violence started following provocation of the Kayserispor fans in the half time, whose team went to leading by a goal scored in the first half. Supporters of the two teams threw rocks to each other. Some of the hooligans were also armed with bats and knives. The fleeing crowd caused astampede in front of the stand exits. The events in the stadium were followed by vandalism in Kayseri and many-days lasting riots in Sivas.  

  Actually , sports are the activities that strengthen the rivalry and friendships. It is the first goal of all kind of sports but unfortunately people forget it when something happens that they do not want or face like  loosing matches etc.

 I hope someday people realize the main goal of football and learn to Show respect because sports mean RESPECT.
