In many parts of the world there is continuous coverage of sport on television. Some people believe this discourages the young from taking part in any sport themselves. Discuss this view and give your own opinion.

It is true that many adolescents are becoming lazy because there have been many non-stop
television
channels since technology has been extremely developed. Sports programmes are one of them and discourage young people to get involved in team games. I strongly disagree with
this
statement as most of teenagers enjoy taking part of sports activities with their friends. In recent years, there have been many 24-hour sports programmes on
television
in order to serve a number of sports fans at their places.
