Great Band from Austin TX

Sports against racism

In the United States racial issues are still easily be found subject in this young nation. Hispanics, Jews, Afro-Americans, Asians and Caucasian people share this beautiful Country called the USA. Looking at the of Sports-Industry, fans (people) are all equal.

What I am trying to say is that if it comes to Sports in this Nation everyone is the same. It took centuries to combine the races to be in the same team. This might seem like a capitalist thing by now but have you ever looked around you at a UT game or an other gameday? People are celebrating the game and entertainment of sports.

I think that by doing sports as a school subject you can eliminate racism in every way. By letting this competition happen kids can work as a team and learn team work is what is leading them to success and if not losing together is better than losing alone.

Sports should be a daily good excercise to work with and on eachother.

The Football Weekends in the USA / How to socialize in the USA

There is nothing more relaxing than a Saturday or Sunday afternoon with your friends eating Pizza and having a few beers. Why Saturday and Sunday? Well the Football season just started and that means Boys time.

For a few years now I met my friends to watch Football on sunday nights. In Switzerland the NFL Games where live around 7 pm till 5 am. Sometimes we stayed up that late to see a certain game. I always stayed up for watching my Dallas Cowboys play on the Grid-Iron.

Now with my American friends this tradition isnt any different we get together and talk and celebrate these days. Everyone has his Fantasy Football Team and follows each of his team players.

To soialize in America is really easy, but through Sports this can be done very fast and easily. Not only in Foootball also you find a lot of Soccer and Baseball fans here in the area of Austin. If you want to have good times and find and meet nice new people go try go to a Sports-Bar or to a Sport-Event near you.
