Professional Sports Is Becoming Too Commercial These Days

Amateur sports differs from professional sports in the sense that in the latter people are being paid for doing their job and in the former case they just take it for the personal benefit or like a sort of relaxation or may be to enjoy. Important thing seems is money in the professional arena. Some sports especially like cricket , football, tennis involve huge money and this attracts people to get into these fields mostly. People do exercise hard and develop their skill in order to get into this field.

Once people get famous in these fields they are called upon to advertise the products.

They often have their sponsors who provide them with the quality equipment. It also provides a possibility to learn much about sports. Nevertheless matters connected with money become problematic for the professional sportsmen some day or the other day. Some people say that sport should not be too commercial. They claim it is contradictory to the basic idea of sport, which says that sport should compete for the sake of personal development and sheer joy.

when once a sportsmen becomes famous he or she will be considered to be authorities in their contemporary country. People from their country especially adore them. It is sometimes problematic as well. A well known person has less privacy. It can be disturbing as well . For example take sania mirza’s marriage situation.

It was almost shown in all the television channels. It obviously would have disturbed her and her family a lot . A similar situation happened in a normal man’s life would’nt have made news at all. These are all considered common in so called “ non celebrity’s life” For many sportsmen , sport is the way of making their professional career. They dedicate their whole lives in training. They miss their family and friends and many more. And once they career ends it is difficult for them to accept their future and physically also they would have become tired and may find it difficult to find job after their sporting career.

Nevertheless sportsmen can be really proud of themselves. The memories of victories make them feel proud and valuable . additionally the fame and love of the others gives them satisfaction However everything has got pros and cons . there are many people who train a lot. For example take cricket in India , we can see children to adults playing in streets but it is only a few of them get selected to represent their country. When once they get selected they have new worries say they would be more conscious in holding their position now .

There are situations that people do indulge in taking energy enhancing drugs or such other illegal substances. It is mainly either because of the stress or over ambitious or even may be because of the high expectations. To sum up I would definitely say that it all depends upon the values and the respect people give when they enter into such professionals. I feel that being professional is not bad but too commercial is bad. Proverb like “too much is too bad” depict the same meaning taken in any of the fields.
