competitive sports are waste of resource

What's the point of reading? Idle stories that amuse? or knowledge that lets you make more money so that u can buy more books to read?Originally posted by january:apparently u must be a young person who are not enlightened yet.
make money then i can spend on a nice book and read it.
going to work i can meet my colleagues and chat with them
waking up, i have another day to spend on leisireu activities
the point of life is to partake in various activities and enjoy the process of life.
Why chat? Its not productive and nothing comes out of it most times.
Why do you need leisure? It doesnt make u more money to buy books.
Apparently you do not see that there are many people out there who find meaning in following or participating in competitive sports, equal to or more than the printed word, idle chatter or other hedonistic pursuits.
As for my age, it doesn't matter. Being close minded immaturity enough. -
sports are an important part of life. they create attitudes which are vital for life. for example, they exercise our determination. they teach people to work well in groups, and have the ability to make us exercise both physically and mentally. sports competitions have the ability to strengthen people's confidence, as well as develop good relationships between different people/countries. I've realized that as I improved in certain sports, my grades and relationships within school got better as well. Competitive sports, such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, etc, are great for improving relationships between different races, simply because, though each race is different, sports never change. Like music, sports can be a bridge between different people.
maybe competitive sports DO use up resources. however, the results they reap are all worth it. -
i have not thinked about these industries yet but for sports, i really have to feeling to talk about its unproductiveness because many people in the world is training to be professional sportmens.
well if u start thking u will realise that many things in this world are a waste of resources, including you and me.at least in acting, when we watch television, a good drama can really bring emotions which so its a good form of leisure.
the truth is... u are condemning competitive sports jus because u don't like it.
...but the nature of competitive sports and seeing who wins is really pointless and brings little pleasure. -
no doubt sports changed my life for the better.
being competitive in a sport gives me a target in life. -
Those atheletics does have a effect to influence others into the sports.

Competitive sports gives a life to alot others just like a book can make u happi...not everyone can adopt what u deem is good lor..keke... -
its ok to play soccer, basketball within community level with friends or all this.
but to spend money to train professional and build the sporting industry so that countires will wind medals is not okay because what the world needs now is not people with fastest leg, strongest hand.
what is needs is to solve real problems in the world such as poverty, violence and diseases.
what we need is people with wisdom to build a better world. hence i am saying that sporting industry which train people to win and win has to be cut down greatly. -
the objective is not to train people to win. that is a goal, but it is not the main thing. sports give people confidence, discipline, determination.Originally posted by january:what is needs is to solve real problems in the world such as poverty, violence and diseases.

writing and publishing ur books do not use resources?? how many trees are cut down each and everyday?? watching a drama?? how much money is put into the media industry?? the surging emotion when u watch a drama is enjoyable u say...the adrenaline rush and the determination to win may be enjoyable to the ones in competitive sports...my point is simple...ur arguement cannot make a stand because ur point is one sided...you are right in a sense yes alot of money is pumped into the sports industry with political issues hanging onto them as well..but did u consider there are also many other stuff out there requiring as much resources and many also be "pointless and not beneficial" eg. ur TV....ur Books..there will always be people suffering and people enjoying at the same second of your ticking watch this is life there's a balance there can nvr be a perfect world we can help to make the world a better place but sports? i think u shud start ur topic from something like "terrorism wat a waste of resources" something along that line....u may not wan to admit but u are basically only looking at things from your point of view and stating what is deemed enjoyable to you may not be to others and what someone might like you may not...what you feel is correct may not be to others thus no point starting this pointless debate.period.

why spend money on grooming and getting you the best actors and actresses to act in dramas u deem good?? does the world need people who can sing and dance and act now?? they help to solve "real problems in the world such as poverty,violence and diseases"?? stop wasting resources aka forum bandwidth.Originally posted by january:its ok to play soccer, basketball within community level with friends or all this.

PLEASURE... that is the fundamental force in our life that we are not aware...... we say people do things based on their likes and dislikes... and what are these...
they are simply feelings and pleasure. there is pleasure embedded in things people like to do.. -
i agree that the entertainment industry is also guilty of using up large amount of earth resources.Originally posted by -_sky_-:why spend money on grooming and getting you the best actors and actresses to act in dramas u deem good?? does the world need people who can sing and dance and act now?? they help to solve "real problems in the world such as poverty,violence and diseases"?? stop wasting resources aka forum bandwidth.
hence we should reduce greatly the entertainment industry too, but not to the extent of eliminating it. remember. i also do not encourage the elimination of sports industry, just a great reduction.
i just simply want the world to greatly reduce the materialsim effect and non productive industry to well being of whole world so that we can channel more resources in important aspect like
education
increasing the wisdom of people so that there are many capable leaders and people in the world
reducing global income gap
when you have capable people and good people in the world, then the world can truly be a better place. -
please .. have you heard of the famous phrase in the worldOriginally posted by da-cheese-freakk:the objective is not to train people to win. that is a goal, but it is not the main thing. sports give people confidence, discipline, determination.
"winning is the only thing"
crap..... i find it absurd that people train not to win, but just to be confident, discipline
YOU dun need sport to practice determination, discipline... anything else can also be use as a goal to practive determination -
i suppose u don noe tis too.. from sport we learn alot of thing which ur textbook cant teach u.. and hu say sportman cant be a leader.. so many human and even well know ppl take some sportman as their role model.. y spend big money on big tournament is the same as y spen big money on making a moive.. moive have even a lesser lifespan of enjoyment compare to big scale tournament.. and most movie dont give u lesson of life unlike in sport.. hollywood star are earning more then sportman for ur info.. because there a need tat y they are there.. and nth in this world can be fair.. there need to be a balance.. if u are rich, someone gt to be poor coz if don have.. u wun noe u are rich if both of u have the same fair of $$$.. wake up dude.. open up ur brain and think far.. u are only thinking wat is before u..

If it makes money, dont expect it to stop.

in what other ways are people given the opportunity? everyone learns things in a different way. there are those who are read-write, those who are aural, those who are kinesthetic, those who are visual, etc. also, people are given different talents. I participate in MUN, and you have no idea how much confidence and determination I gain from going up and talking. what about those who do not have the same talents as me? people are different -- they have their own strengths and weaknesses. those who are artistic gain confidence, discipline and determination through their art. those who sing will sing, those who act will act. what about those who are naturally gifted in sports? should they not be given the opportunity to prove themselves? it is through putting your soul into something and doing the best that you could possibly do that you gain confidence. if people who are naturally athletic are not given the opportunity to practice, what good will it do? will it help the person in any way? why should some people gain spotlight while others are denied the chance, simply because society values certain skills over others? people cant always stay within the confinds of how society thinks things should be.Originally posted by january:please .. have you heard of the famous phrase in the world
"winning is the only thing"

also, sporting events promote world peace. lets say everyone just plays with their friends. okay, that's wonderful, but are their eyes being opened in any way? but being able to compete with people from all over the globe allows people the opportunity to get rid of their former prejudice and instead replace it with tolerance. isnt that what the world needs? education will always be a problem, because there are simply so many things being discovered each day, it is impossible to absorb everything. finance will always be an issue, this is evident by the way society runs. but world peace is something that everyone needs, and holding sporting events may help it reach a higher level. you say, why spend so much money on training? because if athletes are not trained, they will never even have the opportunity to reach their full potential. they will never become who they could have become. do you really want to prevent someone from being everything they want to, and CAN become? aren't athletes human beings just as much as you and I are? -

I didnt read your whole tread but will share my view about your title.
Competitve sports are waste of resource
Here why i disagree
Alot of resources is put into sports but the payout justify the investment.
1)It is a form of entertaintment.
Human and society need entertaintment to have balance. Can you imagine a world without music, movies, sports and entertaintment? People play sports to relax and watch it to entertaint themselves. It would make people unhappy, which is the big picture of our human race, to live a happy life. All work and no play make a dull person and probably an unhappy and unbalanced one.
2) It promote health and team spirit. Self explantory.
3) It inspire people to achiveve and win Like art, sport is a form of inspiration for those who get into it. It;s promote freedom and alot of values. Why? Because you can play a sport with your own creative ideas and values like perservance and courage are omi present in sports.
4) It is a form of business. Brands like NBA, EPL, NFL, MLB, are generating massive revenues and sports also create jobs for alot of people.
PersonallY I suggest millitary as a concept is outdated and is the largest waste of resource. But that's another topic for another time. -
everybody has their own way of thinking. TS can argue dat sports and commercialisation of professional sports is a waste of resources but another forumer can say dat military is a waste of resources too...Originally posted by limpshaggy:I didnt read your whole tread but will share my view about your title.

wad TS say is not wrong entirely, look at EPL and many other football or other sports, many of dem are commercialised and business man pluge into such deals or takeovers juz to hope dat dey earn n milk more money out of it...
i feel dat TS has only seen one side of sports. why nt consider those football players who are really passionate for their sports and the game? if dey arent dat gd in football do u think those clubs would hav signed dem on? it is nt all about money, it is sports. these examples do motivate kids. we cant deny money might be a big influence, but if u do nt hav the skill required, do u think u can earn such an amount of money??
look at two sides, not juz narrow view of such a thing. it would nt be fair for those who hav put in great effort to excel in their area of interest. everybody has their different strength, the world is nt all about diplomas, degrees, PHD, or even masters, it is abt ur passion, strength and most imptly, hardwork!
