16. Many famous sports players advertise sports products. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

In the contemporary era, sports competitions have become so popular around the world for the entertainment purpose. Meanwhile, commercial advertisement companies spend a huge amount of salary to invite famous sports celebrities to promote sport products via advertisements. Some people believe that 
this
will benefit communities and their fans.
However
, I personally disagree with
this
view and the essay will discuss about my view.
To begin
with,  it is the fact that sports celebrities have become their fans' role models worldwide. Their fans always pay an attention to the clothes they wear, gadgets they used, cars they drive, and so on.
Then
their fans will copy what they do in their daily life.
Therefore
, many companies take

ill easily attract ordinary people's attention and persuade them to purchase the products due to their favourite sports players. 
Then
they tend to spend their money on the items which might not benefit them or waste th

For example
, some soft drinking companies have the long history to use sport celebrities to promote their products annually. Many Chinese teenagers drink too mu

taking s
oft drinks.
In addition
, the fee to invite sports celebrities for participating in advertises are extremely huge. In order to make the same amount of profits, retail prices of products will increase.
Therefore
, it will add more financial burden to the customers as well.
For example
, the prices for some popular brands of detergents are higher than that of an ordinary brand because the former one spent much money in

Therefore

also
contributes high retail prices and increases consumers' burdens.
Therefore
