For some people it as part of the culture, since the origins; others claim that it is a product of the Industrial Revolution in Britain in the 19th century. The truth is that sport (or some form of recreational competition or organized body practice) comes from our ancestors.

Is there a particular sport that stands out? Undoubtedly, soccer, due to its incredible media coverage, has become a sort of universal language. But there will always be diverse and discordant opinions. Like Ernest Hemingway's who said that There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.

It is a huge scenario where party, joy and healthy passion can be showed but also violence, social and racial struggles, and the representation of nationality. It could be for all and for an elite at the same time. For us, it is still a field full of elements to keep questioning and thinking about reality.
