Many companies today sponsor sports as a way of advertising themselves. Some people think that this is a good thing for the world of sport. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

In the modern era, as
sports
are very popular among
people
of all ages, advertising
companies
take advantage by promoting their
products
through these events. Indeed, sponsoring
sports
not only benefits the
companies
but
also
sports
as a whole .According to my opinion, the promotion of
sports
through
advertisement
is a good way to encourage
sports
stars and general
people
to indulge in it. Certainly, when a company sponsor frolic activities, it helps organiser cultivate
sportsman
and improve infrastructure along with help
companies
to promote their product on a wider scale. Of course to provide high-quality training to a
sports
team with special equipment, not possible without spending a huge amount of money.
For example
– In 1998 neither big
companies
sponsor Indian women hockey nor wants to connect their name with them.
Therefore
the organiser had to face many difficulties to train the team and organise the event.
In addition
to that
sports
are food for the brain and large of
people
watch
sports
. So if
companies
advertise their
products
through
sports
, they have a large audience and the acceptance rate of
products
are high.
For instance
– If a cricket wear wristband of some brand, his follower starts using that brand. So it's favourable for both
companies
as well as
sports
. On the flip side, along with these ,advantages it
also
has some adverse effect on society. As
people
blindly follow their favourite
sportsman
in that case whatever
advertisement
they do they start using that. So if
sportsman
promotes any alcohol or tobacco
products
kid/ young generation starts taking that without thinking about its severe effects.
For example
– A survey published in daily newspaper number of tobacco and alcohol consumption increased in kids after
sportsman
starts promoting these
products
. Along with
this
putting lots of
advertisement
on the ground, on the sidebars, on
sportsman
’s ,t-shirt some time make the watching experience verse, as
instead
of diverted to that
advertisement
. In conclusion, there is a significant advantage of sponsoring commercials in
sports
to nurture the
sportsman
and promote the
sports
globally and
also
promote commercial to large scale.
