'Like' never used to represent examples in the GMAT. We always use 'such as'.

Uses correct 'such as' for displaying examples. Also maintains verb tense consistency between both and involve.

'all' not required here as we are referring to two things only - Rugby and Football. 'Both' fits better here.

Verb - Tense error between 'both' and 'involve'.
