Spectator Sports

Spectator sports are organized athletic competitions watched by an audience, either live or through media. They involve teams or individuals competing in sports like football, basketball, soccer, baseball, or tennis. Fans attend games or follow broadcasts to support their favorite teams or athletes, experiencing excitement, community, and entertainment. Spectator sports often generate significant economic activity through ticket sales, merchandise, and advertising, and they foster social bonds among fans. They are distinct from participation sports, where individuals engage in the activity themselves, emphasizing the entertainment and communal aspects of watching competitive athletic events.
