Why Do Nigerians Endorse Football More Than Basketball? by Nobody: 5:41pm On Aug 20, 2014 |
Below is a free essay on "Basketball vs Football Compare and Contrast" from Anti Essays, your source for free research papers, essays, and term paper examples. Though, basketball and football are considered two different sport, they often have similarities as well as differences. For example, both sports require a ball, and both sports are team based; meaning you need a team. On the other hand these sports are still very different. For example, football eleven players on the field and basketball only requires five. Also, basketball is an ongoing game and football is play by play. The equipment used in football and basketball games appear to be different but they both have the same purpose. The purpose of both sports is to get the football/basketball to the goal. The football and basketball are the only objects on the field/court that can put points on the scoreboard. These objects look different but they are designed for the play of the game. A basketball is sphere shaped and is designed so the player can hold it with both hands and maneuver while dribbling with it. This shape is also used for other sports such as tennis, golf, volleyball, and shot put for the track and field athletes. A football is the shape of a prolate spheroid. The shape helps the player pass at precise accuracy and run with the ball tucked for protection. The only other sport this shape is used for is rugby. The main goal for each sport is to get the football to your goal or shoot the basketball through your hoop. To achieve these goals you must have a team. Both football and basketball require you have a roster in a sanctioned game. Like I said before football requires eleven players on the field and basketball requires five players on the court. In football and basketball there are four quarter of play. These quarters tend to be long. Unless your super human, you can play each quarter for the full amount of time on the clock; you’d be completely exhausted after the second quarter. So, both sports are allowed subs also known as the bench. Subs go in to the game to take the place of their teammate so they can rest and get water. so why do nigerians like football to Basketball? for me,Basketball till i die 1 Like |
