The article may need a characterization of modern sport. Is there something commonly modern across sports with all the differences regarding the significance of spectators, coooperation, scoring, and mechanical or horse-power? --P64

[edit] football in USA

"while American football where very popular in the south-east. With baseball spreading to the south, and American football spreading to the north after the Civil War."

I believe so) developments in American football later. --P64 20:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
