Why did the Spanish turn to enslaved Africans as a labor force in the Americas?
The Native Americans died in record numbers (especially in the Caribbean) within decades of the Spanish arrival. The Spaniards needed a labor force to fill the lower rungs of the social ladder in order for the colonial expedition to be profitable. Since the enslavement of Africans was quite accepted in Spain due to the former Islamic rulers having African slaves and participating in the African Slave Trade, it was only natural for the Spaniards to expand this trade and begin to use Africans to replace the dying Natives.
It is important to note that in places like the Andes, where the Native American population did not die off rapidly, African American slaves were not brought in. This is why Peru and Bolivia have a very small percentage of African descendants today.

Are sports important in Spanish culture?
Very, and their importance is growing everyday. Kids have sports at school as part of the syllabus from a very early age (that means 3 hours a week and consists of gym and may include football, basketball, volleyball and even swimming at the town's sports club, since most schools make special arrangements to take their students there for a special price too) and that goes on till the end of their secondary education, when they are 18 years old. Besides that, many go to their local clubs and take part in tourneys of every imaginable thing. Skating, tennis and martial arts most fashionable these days. You see many adults in clubs too, on their own or with monitors. And many people love to cycle, walk, jog or run just about everywhere.
The news include a sports section 3 times a day. The country is parallized during the great soccer football matches every weekend and then there are debates -and arguments and rows too- about them on TV almost every day and several national *daily* sports newspapers (besides the sports sections in ordinary newspapers)
