I'm not a huge fan of sport activities, news or updates, but because I have siblings and friends who have interests in this activities and I have been privileged to see them build healthy friendships, unite together with strangers , friends and neighbors during Olympic, World Cup and many other international sporting events, it made me built an interest for sports especially when it's an Olympic year, World Cup and Premier League and I love the way sports unites Nations, individuals of respected caliber and also bring us together at the grassroot level.
So, I can't agree with the notion that international sporting events are waste of resources and they are not necessary , sport would always play a huge role in our society, it's not just an entertainment, but a source of inspiration and unity.
Financial concern is a key one to every nation, but then I believe sports creates job opportunities for people, and that's a huge increase to a country's economy.
I once saw a picture of Real Madrid Stadium, It's called Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, when I first saw it I was marveled and I and my brother had a brief conversation on the countless job opportunities that the stadium would give to citizens of the country.
A standium as big as that, would generate funds, creates employment for more than 200 persons , promote the countries economy and birth more talents .
Also football attracts alot of viewers, from different part of the world, people who would prefer to visit a stadium for a live view . and that also a source of revenue to the country, because this individual will purchase tickets, lodge in hotels, it also attract tourists from different part of the world, who might also invest in this countries, thereby promoting the economy of this countries and adding more values to their economy.
Also , Olympic, World Cup and many other sport activities promotes unity, love and inspire young ones who have an interest, and these are values that's worth more than finance.
Sport is a source of entertainment that teaches resilient.
I have watched kids put in passion and interest in these skills, they dream big and put in much efforts like their life depends on it.
They get all these motivation from watching footballs, footballers, and many other healthy sports activities.
The feeling and motivation they get from watching their mentors and other players they look up to is priceless, and to keep that healthy lifestyle going, football have to keep progressing, the money used to promote these sport activities are worth it, they are very necessary.
And lastly, football and other sport activities brings so much unity between people, regardless of their different traditions, religions, beliefs, and values, it builds a common interest, a very healthy competition between friends, it's not just about the entertainment, but about the laughter, curiosity, and love sports makes us share.
Sport is an entertainment that should be held with so much value, because it's beneficial to our economy, creates employment, build Passion and resilience from the grassroot level to the national level.
All sports activities is worth every penny, they are necessary and also a legacy that should be passed to generations .
