Some people think that governments should spend more money on sports facilities for top athletes. others argue that this money should be spent for sports facilities for ordinary people. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Nowadays there is much controversy over the way of using the budget that the

government

specifies for the sport. Some suggest

this

money should be invested into professional

athletes

while others argue that ordinary people are the ones who deserve to take benefit of

this

money.

Although

it is noteworthy to bear in mind that

athletes

have brought their countries a lot of accomplishments and should be respected, I agree with the latter view. I will discuss the rationales behind my belief in

this

essay.

First

, public health and safety are two subjects that need to be located above all for each

government

. These two goals can not be achieved for all of a country's residents unless their

government

invests properly in the means that promote them and one of the most blatant ways to be healthy is doing sports.

For example

, the

government

has been providing an area in every neighbourhood for the local people to exercise in the

last

decade where not only do their constructions need money but

also

guaranteeing their safety needs considerable budget.

Consequently

, each human's health should be valuable for the countries' leaders and it will be plausible only by appropriate investment.

Second

,

athletes

around the world are being sponsored by private companies. For years governmental administrations had been viewed as the most responsible authorities to provide an essential environment for

athletes

to grow but big companies are replacing them recently.

For instance

, Nike has been sponsoring a lot of sportsmen on their way to world competitions. These companies have never shown any interest in investing in public sports facilities whereas their competition is to sponsor professional ones. To sum up, the

government

as the most responsible authority in the country has a duty to support either ordinary or professional sportsmen. I believe its responsibility toward ordinary people is much greater because public health depends on it and the ones whose professional careers are sports are being supported by private investors.
