It is increasingly common that many companies advertise themselves by sponsoring sports. While some people believe that
this
Linking Words
trend is negative, I would argue that it is a beneficial form in terms of the sport industry.
Firstly
Linking Words
, it is important to consider that the sports industry is one of the most tremendous industries in the world.
However
Linking Words
, these companies, and sometimes countries might be contributed with financial corruptions or even monopoly. Many reports show that there is an extreme conflict between Qatar and the KSA for the ownership of the broadcasting rights as Qatar, at the moment, is controlling the broadcasting all over the world, even in Europe.
Consequently
Linking Words
, the main benefit behind sports is becoming far less important than its real concept which can be resulted in corruption and its financial consequences.
Nevertheless
Linking Words
, many companies are investing in the recruitment of well-played players and athletes in terms of advertising and
thus
Linking Words
gaining high revenues. Adidas,
for instance
Linking Words
, makes a huge amount of profit every year by sponsoring the iconic Leonel Messi. Leonel Messi is considered to have a legendary left foot that let him score superb goals and
therefore
Linking Words
this
Linking Words
has made Adidas adding more and more profit as he continues to score more and more goals. For
this
Linking Words
reason, many companies
such
Linking Words
as: Nike, Kelme and even the Italian manufacturer Puma are competing annually to sponsor him by offering
such
Linking Words
a mouthwatering incentive. In conclusion, despite troubles and financial dangers which might result by some countries, I believe that advertising has
such
Linking Words
a great effect on athletes and players.
