Answer 2

Hello Mate,

First of all let me address the difference between Games and Sports..

Sport is about physical energy while a game may involve physical energy as well as mental strength.

Sport is usually competitive where you have to play against other players according to some predefined set of rules. A game is usually played for recreational purposes.

Sport usually tests the skills and abilities of an individual. While a game is usually a team activity where individual contribution matters but the overall contribution of everyone in the team is more important.

A person playing sport is called a sportsperson on the other hand a person playing game is called a player.


Hope this helps you
