So, if I'm no cheerleader of sports, why write a chapter about it? Sports do have some positive impact on society. They solve problems, such as how to get inner-city kids to spend $175 on shoes. They serve as a backdrop for some of our most memorable commercials. And they remain the one and only relevant application of math. Not only that, but we have sports to thank for most of the last century's advances in manliness. The system starts in school, where gym class separates the men from the boys. Then those men are taught to be winners, or at least, losers that hate themselves. . Stephen Colbert
About This Quote

A chapter about sports is not written because it is a sport, but because of the positive impact of sports on society. If you will remember the article written by the author in some part of this wiki, he mentioned some positive impact of sport on society. For example sport can be a good source of entertainment and motivation for the people and some people depends on sport to earn money and make their life better. But at some point there is some negative impact of sport on society that we should not ignore. After all sportsmen are people too and they also have some problems like other people in society.
