Many people think that the professional sportsmen/sportswomen's behaviors on field and off fields are not important as long as they are good players. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
Some individuals feel that professional
sports
people
can behave as they please on or off the fields as long they are decent players
. In this
essay, I will share my own opinion on why I disagree with this
statement.
First
of all, letting these sports
people
act
as they want could have serious damage to their image as a player. If they chose to behave differently everyone would not respect them due to the lack of consistency. It will not be very beneficial for their career and fans will be disappointed. For example
, when the famous tennis player Novak Jokovic chose not to congratulate the winner who won the match he played, it had a negative impact on his famous and personal image. Moreover
, some people
felt that he was an entitled human being,which also
led to where a lot of viewers did not focus on how good or bad Novak played that game.
In addition
, sports
players
need to be aware they are the role models for a lot of children who are watching them. If they chose to treat people
bad on or off the field, that behaviour would be witnessed by these kids and could potentially influence them showing them that it is okay to behave inconsistently towards some people
.For instance
, when I grew up, I always watched Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is a famous soccer player. He would always act
a bit like a diva in front of the cameras, but off-camera, he always treated other players
and fans with respect. It has had a positive impact on me growing up. This
has led me to be humble no matter what awards I get from doing something right or better than others.
In conclusion, there are some folks that feel that females and males that are playing different sports
can act
like they please on or off the fields, but there will also
have a large impact on the people
that are viewing them. In saying this
, I disagree with the statement above since it is important that these players
act
in a good manner and treat everyone around them decently in the game and out of it.Submitted by Andrea Barreto on
