Sports are governed by some kind of code or rules, which ensure fair play, and enable consistent adjudication of the outcome. In professional sport, reports of significant results are often made, and this information can be widely reported or announced in local sport media. As a general rule, sports competitions are open to all members of the public, with exceptions where professional officials are involved.
The most common sports are: Basketball, American football, Golf, Ice Hockey, Lacrosse, Softball, Track and Field, and Softball. Each type of sport has its own particular rules, terminology, and sporting traditions. Many different aspects of each of these sports are controlled by the governing body of that sport. Professional athletes compete in professional sports throughout the world, in order to gain recognition as well as financial support for their sports career.
