Rodney Jones' poem "End of Practice" talks about athletes working towards their goals or dreams. These goals or dreams may or may not be achieved but they are still there and they still can be worked towards. Everyone strives toward the goal in their own way, as expressed with the different types of runners. In "End of Practice" we see that not everyone strives towards the same dream in the same way. This could lead to the consideration that maybe these dreams can be dependent upon ones culture or even a part of ones culture.
Klosterman's "33" talks about sports and how they can relate to aspects of life. These aspects can range from politics, ideas, controversies, and much more. Klosterman relates The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers to aspects of life such as music, relationships, interests and more. We can see that "33" relates to many aspects of culture.
It can be said that sports can create a culture or simply be a part of culture because it depends on the way in which you make sports a part of your life. If your someone who simply doesn't care about sports then you may not be a part of this culture that sports creates. Although if you are someone who has some sort of interest in sports you can say that it both creates culture or is a part of your culture. Depending on who you are sports can either be applied to life or can just be a part of life.
