It is commonly believed that international competitions, such as The World Cup, or European Football, may have a positive impact on decreasing political tension between different countries and should help them be more cooperative, because of patriotism. In my essay, I will contribute with some examples from both points of view, moreover, I will give my stand, on why I agree with the statement that countries collaborate.
The proponents agree that different sports occasions should help to build good relationships between other nationalities. In the sport, especially football, a team is composed of players, who have different nationalities and backgrounds. This sport teaches them, how to play together, to respect each other, and how to travel and live in hotels by themselves. Their fans have to see how strong the bonds are between them and support them. If they play in the World Cup they are in another team and play for their specific country, where they brought. However, they are not rude to their co-players from another team because they know each other and are sad when their co-players it is not successful. These examples show their national team how to respect other countries.
On the other hand, opponents argue that international matches make deeper holes between countries. Thus, relationships can contribute to hating them because, for example, they won a match. But, everybody knows this is not an important thing for spreading negative emotions. Therefore, we cannot mix the politicians’ situation and escalate the feelings, because someone another is better at sports than my country. Instead of this, it is important to think, about how or what can I do in the future to enhance my outcomes to a higher position.
In conclusion, I introduce relevant examples of tensions between nationalities, which personally cannot be used for judging international emotions and spreading hatred. Thus, I firmly disagree with the statement above, which argues, that sports occasions should to contribute to the increasing tensions, however, they can show a relevant example, of how to respect others.
