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.

Who is better Sachin or Virat?

The hot Question since past three years is Who is a better player Sachin or Virat?                              Sachin Tendulkar                                                        Virat Kohli Well its not easy to compare two people of two different generations but it still can be done because of the fact that both of them have played with each other for good 3-4 years. Lets compare both of them on different aspects-: 1.       Time periods :  When we compare the periods when these two played then they are extremely different.

Roger Federer the most successful all-time tennis player has recently hinted that he would be backing out from the French Open for the second consecutive time.This surely poses a question as to what is there in clay court that he is backing out.What is there in grass court that he is almost unbeatable.There are primarily three different types of surfaces in tennis hard court, clay court and grass court.Out of these hard courts are most common and nearly 70% of tennis tournaments are played on hard courts.Out of the four grand slams Australian Open and U.S Open are played on hard courts while French Open and Wimbledon are played on clay and grass courts respectively.Let's look...
