The Quest of Utopia II

To achieve the pinnacle of a favorite sport is the dream of most American boys. Perhaps it is the goal of children all over the world. Most people would rather this, than the Utopia described by Thomas Moore. However, a Utopia without sports wouldn’t really be a Utopia, would it?

What if there was a Utopia where everybody could be involved with sports? Why couldn’t a place be possible where the entire business was sports? Why not? There could be sports schools, hockey arenas, baseball parks, golf courses, football, tennis, soccer fields, leagues of all types and calibers. What if, instead of war, we played sports? People would come from all over the world to join a fantasy team – a team made up of people like themselves along with a few teacher-players.

There also could be chess, poker, bridge, games and tournaments of all types. People could earn a living in a sports Utopia. There would be leagues of all calibers for aspiring athletes that weren’t quite ready to win gold medals.

If we locked up all the warmongers, bad judges, bad police, and others with MS (Milgram Syndrome), then perhaps we could have such a place.
