Sports!

I love to watch and play sports. All sports and any sports! And, Mexico has so many sports to play and watch. You may have some of these and some may be new to you. Let me show you!

Football

Football (in Spanish, "Futbol) is different in Mexico than in the United States. In Mexico, Football is Soccer! It's as popular as the NBA is in the United States. Here's one site where I check out articles on Futbol.

Bull Fighting

"Toro! Toro!" What do these words mean? "Bull! Bull!" They're said as part of the sport of bullfighting. Bullfighting is a part of the Spanish culture and, having survived centuries of controversy, it still is a popular sport in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Here is a history of Bull Fighting, to explain from where this sport came.

Artists like Goya (who did this bullfighting picture) and Picasso loved to paint the action of bullfighting. You can see some of this art at this link.
