Nowadays, sports is a big business with high earnings for professional sports people and companies involved both financially and other ways. Is this a positive or negative development for sports?

As society is advancing by leaps and bounds,
people
attach great importance to
sports
. Under
this
circumstance, an absolute consensus can hardly be reached as to whether
sports
is a positive development with high incomes for professional
sports
players and companies. For my part, I side with the advocates to the large extent based on the following sound reasons.
Firstly
, it is noteworthy that playing
sports
takes time to be good at. Many studies have shown that
although
it is invisible, in order to become a professional
sports
player,
people
have practised for a long time, even lasting until 10 years.
Therefore
, it will be a grave mistake to overlook the fact that they placed their youth on playing
sports
.
For example
, I have a friend who is a

swimmer. He has practised swimming since he was nine years old and his childhood was all about pools and swimming competitions.
Therefore
, a high monetary reward is worth it for an experienced player.
Secondly
, the reason why I think it is a positive development is that high earnings for professional
sports
people
will cover hospital fees if any injury happens accidentally. As

players, they have to concentrate on practising,
therefore
, they do not have enough time to find a job or to work to earn money for their life.
That is
why if an accident happened, they would not have enough money to pay for the hospital.
Instead
, if they were paid a lot as income, they would save that money for any accidents.
For instance
, a young sporter got an injury on their stomach and from there, they could not play as a player anymore, so with the high earnings that they received before, that would help them to live or to start up a small business. In conclusion, I am convinced that
sports

a big business with high earnings for professional

and companies involved both financially and in other ways is a positive development.
