Because of the continuity of sports being aired on television, which is happening in many parts of the globe, some people are convinced that this discourages teenagers from engaging themselves in any sport. This essay will discuss this view and tackle my opinion as well.
These days, most homes are equipped with televisions, which have various programs. One of those is the sports channel, which is televised continuously. For instance, in Italy, sports coverage is always live when there is a soccer competition, whether it is intercity or international. This endless sports program made the young people devote their time to watching it, and this will lead them to not participate in an actual sport. In this scenario, some people believe that this might be the reason behind it.
I respect others in the above view. However, I am convinced that the continuous sports coverage on television will encourage them instead to take part in any sport. If the youth are watching a certain sport show on television, there is a great possibility that they will play a sport similar to that they are watching. In addition, they may idolize a known player in a specific sport, and in turn, they will play that sport wanting to be like their idol. As a result, when they engage in a sport, they will then exert effort and perform their best to become better players.
In conclusion, spending too much time watching non-stop sports shows on television may not encourage young individuals to get involved in any sport. Still, I disagree with this view.
