Today’s world has witnessed a growing emphasis on the essence of sports in human beings’ existence. While it is claimed to be an indispensable part, some individuals reckon it is barely a recreational activity. This essay will shed light on both perspectives, and present my opinion as a sport advocate.
On the one hand, sports have long been regarded as a privilege only for the well-to-do in the society. More specifically, a higher social class gains more access to luxurious sports, namely golf, horse-riding or even gymnastics because they require them to squander on a myriad of equipment and accessories to get started. This explains why it can be a leisure pursuit of rich people to alleviate their stress and pressure about life matters. Golf, for instance, is a sport for prerequisites owing to its ostentatious appearance. Participants should be equipped with not only skills but also financial ability to afford expensive gadgets.
On the other hand, I firmly believe that sports are not necessarily about money. They play a pivotal role in maintaining people’s health conditions physically and mentally. Accordingly, everyone needs to be healthy; therefore, accessing to sports should be an universal need. Besides, taking up any forms of sports is not that unaffordable due to the fact that there are plenty of financially accessible sports such as running, aerobics, and badminton. Sports can also function as a tool for social connection, illness prevention rather than a fun activity. The seniors in Vietnam perfectly exemplify this situation when they can establish their own clubs to reunite sports enthusiasts with an aim to live a happier and healthier life for free. Many forms of exercise can be done free of charge, thereby I claiming that sports are paramountly important and advisable for everyone.
In conclusion, sports can be viewed as a recreational activity for some social groups, but it is not an exclusive part. Sports should be encouraged to be for everyone to not only take up for fun but for health and connection.
