I think for humans, and pretty much all animals, there is an instinct towards confrontation and violence. Humans, at this point seem to have come to understand that they can't just go around killing people randomly. In my opinion, sports seem to be a good way for people to let out their natural aggression. Not only that but sports is also about simply feeling that adrenaline, and power that goes along with physical activity and feeling successful at something.

I think that sports are a really good thing for society. It keeps are motivations high, gives some people something to look forward to and maybe something to feel passionate about. On the topic of sports promoting violence. I don't really feel like they promote violence more than anything you could possibly see on TV or even simply walking down the street.

Even though I myself, really don't have the motivation to do anything like sports, or something competitive, I can see how its totally beneficial to people. Especially in the United States right now things that involve physical activity need to be encouraged, as obesity becomes an increasingly bigger problem.
