ems to be a new 10-10 number that you can dial to save on long distance phone calls. I personally dont understand it, but there is obviously a market for long distance phone bill savings. This kind of competition is simple and innocent, but is becoming confusing.Sporting events have become more popular, and respectively more competitive. Little League is probably one of the worst areas for competition- not coming from the players, but from the parents. For example, I was playing in my little league championship game about six years ago, and a controversial call by the umpire almost caused a riot in the stands. This is supposed to be just a game, right? High school rivalries are common across the nation. These rivalries may be tradition, but sometimes can escalate to arguing or fighting, just because of the name printed on the front of your jersey. This uncalled for competitiveness needs to be tamed, or else high school sports will no longer be friendly match-ups. Fans of professional sports are undoubtedly guilty of over-competitiveness. After championship games (in most sports), police in the city of the losing team brace themselves for possible rioting. Rioting is a common, almost expected act of the losing teams fans. Its sad to see that people have to resort to violence to exert their anger because of a loss.Society today is a harbor for competitiveness, seen everyday by everyone. Everywhere you look, politicians are looking for ways to gain votes. Businesses are competing for the right to have the best product. Sports fans are becoming more competitive than ever. Competition, in any manner, cannot be kept from happening. It therefore cannot be regulated. American society is in every way competitive, and that will not change. I would not say that America as a whole is too competitive, but competitive for the wrong reasons....
