Why do men play sports recreation games? And why do their wives encourage them to? Being the wife of your typical sports-crazed man, I have investigated the phenomena of fantasy baseball leagues, football leagues, and other game-playing groups. And here is what I found.
Playing table-top and computer games that recreate real-life seasons using statistics, enables the average man to become Vince Lombardi, Casey Stengel, or Red Auerbach. He can manage the world championship team, trade players, and enjoy visualizing the play of the game.
Baseball and football table-top leagues can be played over the internet. My husband has hosted the business meeting to set up the league rules, the "draft," and the World Series. I have witnessed men getting ready for head-to-head play, talking to the team in the locker room, deciding when to pull the pitcher, or when to hit-and-run.
Because the games are based on true statistics from a Pre-season or the case of real life, this hobby can be a situation in which the reconstruction of the decision to go for the landing were the most intelligent move for the field, rather than controlling their advantage.
the crowd was old and taken up other sports games like golf, golf and golf have desktop PC Pebble Beach has been added to the mixture so that the players to imagine the sights, and the links course treacherous St. Andrews. Stand on the tee at the TPC Sawgrasshole number seventeen and decide what club Tiger should use as he goes head-to-head with Arnold Palmer. The gamer can decide whether he can pull off that shot at the Masters that won Phil Mickelson another green jacket.
When its sleeting in Green Bay, he can be warm and snug, while calling the long pass. When the snow is on the links, he can be going for the green in Hawaii. When the boys of summer are still in Fort Lauderdale, he can be pitching in the bottom of the ninth in the World Series.
There are table-top and PC sports recreation games for many different sports, including basketball, soccer, hockey, horse racing, tennis, boxing, and others, even something as off the beaten path as bull-riding.
As a wife the advantages are that I know where he is, sports injuries are kept to a minimum -- an occasional bruise from slamming the table, or a paper-cut from ripping up a player card when they err in completing the hit-and-run. If you want to recommend a hobby, playing sports-recreation games is an excellent choice. It channels all the sports interest into a fun and social pastime, encourages mental exercise, stimulates the imagination, and best of all, keeps him home.
