Money Is Killing Sport In today’s society we are dominated by the world of sport. No matter which country you live in, you are constantly receiving images of various codes of sport. We all have a favourite team, no matter what type of sport and most have a Hero that takes part in the game. These constant images of the players, officials as well as administrators of the game allow us, the viewers, to hold them directly accountable for their actions. We see everyday the problems that some sports have and we, the viewers of that sport, are able to express our opinions on those issues. The one big problem however, is that we are there to enjoy the game and the players are as well, but, when monetary gain begins to take priority, the players lose all that fun and begin to focus in on the money. That, is where sport is let down in many ways. We see it in every code of sport. The players, officials and administrators sometimes are caught up in a world of deception, lies and trickery, for what though? Just to earn the extra buck! Today’s sport is caught up in the money race. Profit, revenue and cash all seem to be top of everyone’s list. What happened to the days when a player would play off his own back and only played the sport because of how he or she enjoyed the game so much. Well, to be honest with one another, we will never see those games or those fantastic players ever again. Now all we see are lawsuits, huge profits and the downside, bribery and match fixing. These last two versions of events are the 2 main arguments that are absolutely destroying the world of sport, as we know it. There are many major principles throughout the world we can focus in on now. Afterwards, you will se the full devastating affect that money in sport can have on the game as well as the people involved.
