Sport is the subject of much conversation, reading
 material, leisure activity, and discretionary spending. Over
   one-tenth of the World Almanac is devoted annually to
    sport, more than is allotted to politics, business, and
  science. USA Today, the most widely read newspaper in
the United States, devotes one-fourth of its space to sport.
  Even the Wall Street Journal has a weekly sports page.
  There are numerous cable television networks providing
  twenty-four-hour coverage. Annually, the most watched
television event in the United States is the Super Bowl. The
   amount of sports betting is staggering, with unknown
              billions waged legally and illegally.
