Why should a Government spend on Sports?

Each and every government in the world spends a huge sum of money in sports.This blog will answer why a government should spend on sports?

There are various arguments for this statement-:

Job creation:

With each and every sport there are a lot of people involved other than the players themselves.Each stadium built requires many unskilled workers for its maintenance.Hence money from the richer players goes to these unskilled people of the country.
Also with every sport there comes a big federation,its board,its members.This all are job positions that will not exist without sports.With every stadium comes the role of architect,engineers etc.

Inspirational role models:

Every popular sportsperson is an inspirational and emotional journey in itself.A poor person in a slum can easily connect to a sportsperson who has been brought up in similar circumstances.Also politicians,actors and other eminent people constantly keep on changing their stance ,their image but sportspersons are true role models,self made people.Nepotism,favourism are not applicable in the field of sports.Hence the sports stars are extremely popular in youth.

Health and fitness:

Playing sports keeps a person fit and healthy.This decreases the chances of falling ill.This brings down the government expenditure on medical facilities.Now one may argue the case of U.S.A which is a sporting giant yet more than 50% of the population is overweight.But hte fact is if U.S.A stops investing heavily on sports then even more people might be in the overweight category.

Direction for youth:

The youth of the country must be handled very carefully else it might turn into countries like Pakistan.Sports is the best way to keep the youth busy and active.It involves less effort but many benefits.

Finally I believe that it is very important for a Government on spend on sports.In fact the most developed countries in the world are also the best countries in the field of sports.
