People Are Crazy About Sports by Stan Bruer Why do people love to watch sports? Professor Len Sanders of Georgetown University asks this question in his study on, "People and Sports." "We can understand why people like to play sports. It's good exercise and a lot of fun," says Professor Sanders. "But why do millions of people pay so much money to watch other people play?" Sports is good business. A winning team can make millions of dollars. A goodathlete or player can make a very large salary. For example, at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, the winner can make more than $2.9 million. Derrick Rose is a basketball player for the Chicago Bulls. He makes one of the highest salaries in basketball. He earns about sixteen million dollars every year. Sports fans, the people who watch sports, often pay a lot of money for ticketsto a game. The MetLife Stadium in New Jersey can hold 82,566 people. Fans get very excited when their team wins. Professor Sanders now has the answer to his question: "People love the excitement of a good game."
