It is believed that top athletes deserve more sports facilities for their training, while others argue it should be provided to everyone with public facilities. Although both views have their own merits, I totally believe that these amenities should be used for social purposes.
On the one hand, some people may argue that there is a waste of funding for special sports facilities. As the quantity of specialised sports centres requires a large amount of national funding, this may reduce the budget available for other aspects. For instance, Viet Nam has recently faced frequent natural disasters, leading to problems such as food shortages and homelessness. These situations demand immediate financial support, so allocating money to facilities that mainly serve top athletes could be seen as an ineffective use of resources compared to addressing urgent public needs.
On the other hand, I believe that sports facilities should be available to the public for several reasons. Firstly, these amenities are paid for by taxes, which are contributed by ordinary citizens. Thus, it is reasonable that everyone has chances to approach them instead of just a very small group of elite athletes. Secondly, public sports facilities can act as social hubs, where people can not only engage in physical activities but also connect with others. Since sports require teamwork, including football and basketball, people can interact and build better relationships. This means public facilities not only improve teamwork skills but also create more friendly communities.
In conclusion, although some people think that governments should build sports facilities only for professional athletes, I believe public facilities are more pivotal because they encourage social connection and help develop basic personal skills.
