Many people think that the behavior of professional sportsmen off the field is not important as long as they are good players. To what extent do you agree or disagree with it?

It is proposed by a few individuals that if the sportspersons are performing well on the

field

, their

behaviour

in private life hardly matters. I fully disagree with

this

notion because of the disparity that arises due to

such

a practice.

To begin

with, the

first

and foremost reason in

this

context is that any kind of activity off the

field

of sportsmen is followed by their fans blindly.

This

is primarily for a fact that

such

imitation proves detrimental for common people in case of certain situations. To illustrate, many youngsters all around the world have been rendered drug addicts in an attempt to copy the lifestyle of their favourite players.

Thus

,

this

makes it obvious that sportsmen are needed to behave responsibly in public so that their followers can imitate them in a positive manner. To fortify

further

, yet another aspect in

this

regard is that behaving poorly in personal life may

also

affect the game of a professional player. It is generally observed that once they misbehave at public places, they easily get the attention of the media and a result of which, they are unable to perform amicably on the

field

because of embarrassment.

This

is especially true in the case of a famous football player Wayne Rooney, who was once caught at a bar fighting with peers, have not able to play well in at least 3 of his games in 2017.In fact, after a few ,months he had to apologize to his fans in order to get rid of the strain.

Therefore

, acting irresponsibly would bring problems for their own game, thereby proving it to be a bad idea. Apart from

this

, a negative attitude off the

field

might

also

cost the sportsmen their career.

In other words

, in the wake of unacceptable

behaviour

in public, sportspersons not only get sacked from their teams but

also

lose the sponsorship of advertisement companies from where they earn a lot of income. A case in point is that

last

year two Indian cricket players lost all of their contracts with the sponsors as well suspended from the team for 2 years in the view of making inappropriate remarks during a television interview.

Hence

, poor

behaviour

off the

field

would pave a way for their dark future. In the gist of above contents, it can be concluded that it is due to the good

behaviour

of a sportsperson in private life that he can maintain his career as well as become a role model for his fans.
