As an independent country that accentuate sports at various levels, I made this report to know partially what do teenagers love in today's modern global sports that they acknowledge as a popular sport. For example; football as a popular and global sports that is well-known worldwide, also basketball as a simple but exciting sports that use different rules worldwide. I like to know of the opinions from teenagers in Indonesia relating to global sports. For that, I've interviewed teenagers which are well-informed of nowadays sports.

First, I've interviewed a good friend from SMA-i Al-Azhar 2 Pejaten, his name is Tony Hardian. I asked him to compare between basketball and football in terms of his likeness and popularity. He prefers playing basketball than playing football because he said that basketball is a very useful sports in terms of maintaining the fitness of our body and increasing our height. He also prefers to watch NBA games rather than watching the BPL or the La Liga because of the performance of the NBA players which are usually exhilarating and thrilling to watch. Tony thinks that basketball is a global sport that usually have varieties for different ages and different levels that are strongly relating to a brotherhood that is very much unite.

Second and last, I interviewed my colleague which is a year older than me, his name is Abdurrahman, he is an XI grade student in SMA-i Al-Azhar 2 Pejaten. Despite disliking sports and stuff relating to sports, Abdurrahman is so passionate about martial arts such as pencak silat which he himself has master already. But despite all of that above, I still need Abdurrahman's opinion on global sports which is important because he usually has a very productive answer that satisfies me, the questioner. He told me that both basketball and football (as two of the most popular sports in the world) is a physical game that requires toughness, strength and versatility. The meaning of these three extra-ordinary words really takes the tally of global sports towards a different level of understanding. Toughness is an expression which is the most important spirit that we must have when playing these kind of sports that requires physical ability. Strength is the inferior of toughness itself, requires stamina plus controllable power. Versatility really is the most unique part of being an athlete, because a versatile athlete is a born-talent that usually is destined to play at these global sports. Someone who is versatile can play basket/football at two or more positions and can do pretty much all of the role-plays in nowadays sport. These three important statement really comes down to one rule, which is pretty much as you all know, it's the fairplay that we must prioritize most. He conclude his opinion by sqying that Indonesia needs a revolution of global sports towards a more widely global network.

From these two vastly important opinions, I like to conclude that a global sport is a modern but simple sports that could be played at difference levell/ages and played around the world. Global sports always stood out above other sports in terms of media and public appealing, it really shows in the TV programs about global sports that is widely televised around the world.
