SPORT AND POLITICS

Everyone has adifferent idea of sport. Many English people think it is good

Because it teaches people to work together in team. Many Americans like it

Because it helps people to forget their problems. But no matter what nations think

About sport, they all agree it is important .there are now many organization

5 which are promoting sport both nationally and internationally .more young  and old

People are no longer spectators but participants in sport.every year new sports

Are being created,and foreign sports are being imported; such as American

Football in Europe ,and soccer in the U.S.A

So,the future of sport looks very good.but for  the first time we are hearing

10complaints about it. The reason for this Is politics.is kicking a ball around good

Exercise or is it a way of proving one country or political system Is better  than

Another? there are some educators who dislike sporting events because they

Make children compete against one another.this competition at  an international

Level can cause bad feeling between countries. Sport writers, seeing flags and

15listening to national anthems at sporting events, are asking if sport is about

Playing games or politics.

Sport Is important and fun because everyone can enjoy it in his or her own way:

Watching, organizing or playing. To one person, soccer is going to the stadium

Every week: to another, it is managing a team, and to yet another it is scoring

20 goals. That Is why spot is wonderful; it has so many different aspects. While we

Are reading and thinking about it, other people are enjoying it. Of course,

Extremes are bad. But there Is nothing bad in wanting our country to win. We are

Not being unsportsmanlike. The recent objection to politics in organized sport

Are artificial. Politics has always been a part of sport, as it is a part of other

Activities. Politics is a danger to sport only when it stops ordinary people enjoying

25 it in their own way
