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.

Ashes 2017:The clash of the Titans

The most awaited test series of the year,Ashes is back with Australia and England battling one more time.This blog about the team analysis of both the teams and who stands a better chance this time. This year's Ashes series is a very different contest all together.Both the teams have a bunch of new players and debutants.This makes the series even more interesting.Talking about the visitors i.e England,the whole batting line up revolves aroung two players Alaister Cook and Joe Root.The whole team is a lot more dependant on these two players.The top order of England having the likes of  Mark Stoneman,David Malan,James Vince is difficult to predict as these players don't have much experience.But the strength lies in the lower middle order of England where there is Moeen Ali,Jonny Bairstow.Both these players have a decent average of 35+.But it would be intersting to see how Moeen Ali plays in the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia.He got exposed to short balls when England ...

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. Sachin made his debut at a time when India was emerging as a cricketing country, when we were not the best in any of the things. Sachin came as a hope as to we could say that we hav...

How has Indian badminton managed to reach great heights?

This phase of badminton is the best phase ever in Indian badminton.This blog is about what badminton has done right to reach this stage. Last two years have been exceptional for the Indian badminton players.From a hint of glory in men's singles to the dominance in women's singles,badminton has grown a lot as a sport.P.V Sindhu,K.Srikant are among the best known faces today in India.From Olympic silver to back to back superseries titles,hints of dominance of Indian badminton can be sensed.But when did the fate of Indian badminton change? Badminton has a great connection with India.It is believed that badminton started in this very country.In the 1980's the world saw a great badminton player Prakash Padukone.One of the very few known sportspersons at that time.The All England champion had set a tone for other coming badminton players at the time when sports(that too badminton) was hardly considered a profession to be taken.After that in 10 years there were a few good ...
