Some people think that one good way to promote world peace is through international sporting events, while others think that it is not. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Retaining world
peace
is a challenge these days. Many argue that
sports
events
conducted at an international level might cultivate
peace
among countries. I completely disagree with
this
statement because international
sports
events
not only develop enmity among the people but

for hatred in one's own
country
upon losing a match. Though many
events
conducted for
sports
bring together people and governments, it only creates rivalry within the audience.
This
is because, in the name of showing support, observers tend to split into groups resulting in arguments and comments during the match resulting in fights within themselves. In multi-cultural countries
such
as India, where people from different religions live together, during
sports
events
like cricket matches, disputes will be created in the name of support
thus
breaking the
peace
that has been prevailing in the
country
.
Moreover
, when the
country
being supported loses the match, out of dejection, the fans develop hatred for the players which in turn gets projected onto the
country
.
As a result
, violence breaks out at key locations of the nation leading to a lack of
peace
within it, leading to pressure on the law enforcement department to control the anger outbursts.
For instance
, during a cricket match in 2009, when India lost against Pakistan, a huge mass gathered in front of India's cricket team

this
does not result in world

as games not only create a rift among the supporters of different teams but
also
result in violence within the
country
if a loss is faced.
