In many parts of the world there is continuous coverage of sports on television. Some people believe this discourages the young from taking part in any sport themselves. Discuss this view and give your own opinion.

The craze of
sports
is ever-rising all around the globe and
television
has acted as a catalyst for increasing viewership of the different
sports
.
However
, many people have an opinion that,
due to
this
rise in viewership,
children
are not taking an active
part
in
sports
. In my opinion,
this
is not the case and I feel
due to
the increase in the telecast of
sports
more teenagers are actively participating in them.
To begin
with, live streaming of
sports
binds people to the edge of their seats as the sport are very much exciting, but, these
also
have some negative consequences.
Firstly
, getting entertainment
while
sitting in one place in a comfort zone, discourages young ones to play
sports
as they have to work hard.
For instance
, in my ,home there is a large projector connected to the T.V. By which I can watch cricket on a large screen which gives me a lot of joy, but I don't like to play it as it requires much hard work and dedication.
Thus
, these are one of the reasons why
television
discourages
children
to take active participation in
sports
. In my opinion, I feel that
,
Remove the comma
apply
show examples
due increase in the live streaming of
sports
, more and more young
children
are attracted to take
part
in different kinds of
sports
as it is fun and if you reach the topmost level you can earn a name
as well as
fame.
For example
, cricket is like religion in my country and almost 90% of kids want to become a cricketer at a young age their idols are Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli,and M S Dhoni who are huge icons in my country and their popularity, urge kids to take
part
in cricket and like that football has Ronaldo, Messi, Pele which attracts the
children
to actively involve in
sports
.
Therefore
, I feel, that
sports
telecasts increasing on
television
, enable
children
to play
sports
rather than just watch them on TV.
To conclude
, I don't think forecasting
sports
on
television
will discourage
children
to not play
sports
, but I feel the opposite of it and it actually encourages
children
to take
part
in different
sports
as the marketing of
sports
is done through it.
