Today’s children and teenagers tend to look up to sports stars but they often do not set a good example. Therefore, I am of the opinion that it is a negative development for the following reasons.
To begin with, I think the Earth admiration for the sport stars will bring their fans good value. Because some sports stars are the people who get over many difficulties. Thus, their fan can look at them and follow what they do. For example, Leo Messi is the most popular football star in the world who get over the growth hormone deficiency disease to achieved such great success in a globally loved sport. In addition, well-known athletes can encourage the people who admire them for doing good deeds for society. Having great respect for professional athletes will help young people have more motivations to strive and learn. many good qualities such as perseverance, self-discipline etc. However, the downsides of this phenomenon are more significant than the benefits. The young generation tends to idolise famous athletes despite the fact that they are not a good example. I believe that these negative aspects will greatly affect the behaviour of young people such as: being too violent, living without discipline. Go to party all night long or being too ambitious about money, etc. When young generation is too blind to admire, believe and even worship non-standard behaviours, we will gradually make ourselves the worse. Currently, there are too many athletes who are passionate about violence and like stricks in competition to debate their opponents. The most important thing is that they do not feel guilty. Eventhough, they think that is a suitable way to show their strength. Some famous athletes have gone too far in partying. Others are condemned for using banned substances.
A clear example is player Neymar from Brazil team. He has as much influence as Messi, but there are always scandals about love affairs and uncivilized behaviours outside the game. As a result, his career continued to decline and he was disrespected by his colleagues.
In the above mentioned view, I think that, it is not bad to admire someone. I advise that we should set for ourselves certain moral standards and healthy lifestyle to aim for. Thereby, I am completely opposed to admiring bad people because of the consequence it brings.
