What Sportsmanship Has Become
Why are sports as they are today?
By William Bartholomew
In my enquiry I would like to achieve making a fact file on what sports have become to this day and why they have become like this, also I would like to come to a conclusion on whether they have changed for the worst or best and why they have changed.
I believe that sportsmanship has changed for the worst in the last 30 years as people are not friendly with the over team and in fact in some cases this is so extreme that people will kill each over just because there team has lost or they have lost a bet maybe and they get so annoyed. However some sportsmen are enthusiastic about their sports and are good sportsmen, but a small bunch let them down by doing stupid things for example, fixed bets, swearing and racial comments.
I feel that the reason for bad sportsmanship increasing is that people are being paid far too much in my opinion. This makes people too big for their boots and increases the amount of boasting and also because there so full of them self they feel that it is ok to get arrested, make racial comments and do stupid things. You here in the news sometimes that football players have been arrested for doing ridiculous things and yet the next day they are playing for their club again without match bans in the majority of times.
What is a sportsman?
The definition seems to have undergone a big change over the years.
If children follow the example set by today's athletes, the definition would equal a sore loser. High school sports should be a fun way to physically express yourself as an athlete, but at the same time learn some of life's lessons, like sportsmanship, discipline, and respect. In today's society, winning comes before everything, but if winning requires neglect of good sportsmanship, then nothing is gained in the long run. Sportsmanship matters not only in sports, but also in the rest of our everyday
