Yes, you are right, but you are wrong as well.
There are lots of money behind sports, because of the research
being carried out. Australia is reportedly sourcing for good
swimming genes in their population, so they could produce the likes
of Michael Phelps.
Sporting companies are working to improve on their products,
because each and every sport is unique, and a specific product is
needed to make sure an athlete performs at his maximum and reduce
the chances of injuries.
Governments are supporting it, because of the prize money involved.
It's not just medals.
However, behind all these, what do you think they do this?
Researching in genetics to search for particular types might also
lead to the discovery of other stuffs. Researching on how to
improve a product to reduce injuries will make sports something
better to do. You don't want to break a bone and can't exercise for
a year, do you?
you are simply giving money to an industry that has very little
workdone to the world and the increasing of knowledge.
Wrong. Before you learn to run, you must first learn to walk.
Just like understanding the knowledge behind sports. You won't
understand what the heck are those scientists talking about if you
have not studied Biology and related subjects. There's a lot of
interconnections between each subject.
i do acknowledge that sporting organisation do engage in helpful
things with the world like UNICEF links and some of its charitable
events.
however, the money donated is too small compared to the amount of
money that is running around in the industry which has very little
uses and i especially cannot take it when they speak of it as all
in the name of winning and pride.
What defines small? What is the definition of donation? Does it
make sense to criticize them then?
does the whole world calling you as the champion of champions
and you feeling elated of being best really do anything except
making you happy for a short moment.
What defines simple? Once you answered this question, it would
lead you to discover whether such a happiness is just for a short
moment or a permanent feeling.
