		To look at baseball and other sports to see how they wove themselves into the fabric of American life in that crazy time when the baby boomers were growing up is more than an exercise in nostalgia.
		It reveals an important aspect of the American character and suggests the seriousness of sports to Americans—the extent to which spectators involve themselves in sporting contests, and the way in which sports become, for the enthusiast, a metaphor for life.
		During the 1950s almost all sports became desegregated; several sports endured scandals; the standards of professionals were imposed on amateurs and even children; antitrust exemptions were challenged; franchises moved with the population to the West Coast; new...

	America 1950-1959: Sports History: The Birth of Sports Illustrated \| American Decades
		First, Sports Illustrated was directly aimed at the American middle-class consumer and budding television-sports spectator; second, and perhaps more important, SI was a property of the Henry Luce media empire that included Time and Life, and so SI was guaranteed the financial backing and time required to find its audience.

		Sports have gone from the laid back watching, to intense participation in the last 50 years, however, it is apparent by the full stadiums and extensive TV coverage of professional sports, that the adrenalin rush provided by extreme sports is merely an addition rather than a replacement.
