The effects of sports are recognized on the scale of social levels by some people, meanwhile, others believe it should be only perceived as a personal interest. In my opinion, sports play pivotal roles in our society.
On the one hand, sports are considered merely a hobby and not impactful to everyone as the involvement in sports depends on one’s capacity and interest. It is true that people who have fewer physical advantages find it more challenging than the healthy ones to practice sports. These obstacles might limit the opportunities of them to pursue their interests in sporting activities.
