Scientists in America have made the discovery that sports are a good thing for getting large groups of people together.

Sports such as Baseball, Soccer, American Football, and Basketball were found to be more popular than such games as grandstand Chess or full contact tiddlywinks, which are at the moment only minority sports and do not attract the big crowds, or big money sponsors.

Professor Dumbledore, who is now in training for championship Tiddlywinks and Rounders, following the recent closure of Hogwarts told us: 'This is a good thing. We never really realised before that Sports were good for uniting diverse groups of people into a belief system. We always felt that that was the job of religion, but we now know the error of our ways'.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
