Some people view sports as an important feature of our society while others feel it is nothing more than a leisure activity. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is sometimes considered that athletics is just a mere leisure activity that adds no
further
value to society because
sports
stars are usually selfish and lead a scandalous lifestyle.
Although
this
view may not be totally wrong, in my opinion, I believe that
sports
play a vital role in our world today and
this
essay will elaborate on that.
firstly
,
sports
celebrities are intentionally self-centred as a good number of them don't give back to society and would hardly support government projects.
Furthermore
, some of them indulge in risky behaviours, bearing in mind that
such
acts boost their field performances and are not concerned about its hazardous effects.
For example
, during the
last
year's annual football league in my community, a well known middle field striker manifested symptoms likened to that of withdrawal syndrome and slumped at the peak of the game and when he regained consciousness, he revealed to the
first
aid team which I happened to be among that he forgot to sniff his marijuana as he usually does before each match.
Thus
, the insignificant impact of
sports
on their society is believed to be the reason why most
people
don't regard it as important.
However
, it is considered that sporting events contribute majorly to community development and I am in support of
this
view because during
sports
events
people
from different disciplines are hired to render needed services.
For instance
, my mother who is a chef was employed to prepare sumptuous meals during the 2018 annual table tennis competition held within our locality.
Thus
, games not only projects young individuals to world recognition but
also
make
people
have something doing. In conclusion, it is believed that athletics is just free time activity done solely for pleasure. I am in support of the view which says that it brings cultural advancement because it has fed many families and has brought
people
to the limelight.
