[edit] modern

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." (It is premature to focus much on grammar and spelling.) What football is this, just before and after the war? Soon after this passage the article seems to place crucial earliest(? I believe so) developments in American football later. --P64 20:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
