Modern Day Sport in Industrialized Society is an Industry

Yes indeed, sports in today's world has become a large profit making industry. The players or the sports person are only a small part of this huge industry, more than the players, there are various other people like agents, managers etc. Who are making huge profits from the sports industry. And with the facility of television and internet following sports has become very easy. Thus the people in India follows the epl so closely then our own national i-league. This industrialization has indeed changed the whole scenario of sports. All the top clubs are in constant battle to bye the top players of the world, may it be cricket or football, so that their team becomes more famed and people follow their team and eventually the could make profit.

Yes i am completely agree with the fact that modern day sport is becoming day by day more an industry. This fact seems more real when we look at the earning of KKR be the highest despite they did not qualify till the semifinals of IPL. The status of players now a days is estimated not only by their sports skill but also by their wealth or number of advertisement they are doing. Every player now a day is equipped with a manager who is taking care of player commercial commitments and also who is continuously looking for better market opportunity for player. Every player is now a days becoming so professional that even nowadays the club vs country debate is very general.

Yes I completely agree with the above statement because players sometimes do things like that they are finding in match fixing. They dialed by the cricket board that is apart but they just want to earn more and money only they do not worry about the fame of nation as well as themselves. Even people invest their money in these games so I thnk this should not happened.

Yes, I also think that modernization has made sports an industry itself. It can be well viewed from these IPL and Twenty-Twenty series. Players are auctioned, based on their scores. Film stars are also participating in this industry by buying cricket teams and making huge profit. Today cricket no longer remains a passion for players, it has become a profession to earn money. Industrialization has made a very bad impact on sports. Top teams are always battling to buy those players who are in good form. Players are also participating in television shows, ramp-walks, thus getting diverted from the real essence of sports.

I too completely agree and I would like to add one point that sports is followed by all age group and business sector which has found it a very good platform of advertisement. We can see lots of ads all around and inside ground, on all team uniforms and at last players are being used as models for their products. It has just stolen the sports and merely left as a business where every one is concerned about money only.

Hi everyone!

Modern day sport in industrialized society is an industry. Industrialization is a raging fire and sports is not immune to it. When compared to the past years, we now have more sponsors for a variety of sports around us. Industrialists have realized the potential of the Indian Sports and its reach. Hence they consider it a positive and beneficial investment. As the old saying goes, every coin has two sides, so do we have the pros and cons of this industrialization. If we be optimistic then, we can see that the pros outnumber the cons. Many sports, which were not even known to the Indian audience, have now brought to limelight because of industrialization and of course the good players.

Because of this industrialization, more people are exposed to various games and they too are interested to take part in it. Hence sports becoming an industry is good for itself as long as the players give priority to excel their game rather than choosing which brand they should endorse.

Thanks you all.

Hi to everybody. I aggreed this point.

Our Indian sports have been modernization. For the past of years in our cricket team there are no more team players. And also in our old cricket team had a good players. But not like a cricket other sports alse have like this modernization. Today sponsership also increased in our cricket field. So many of players preferred to money to play in a team. Lot of sponsers has been changed sports mens mind by giving the more sponsership. And there is no more sponsership gave in a past of years. Oly sponsers preferred to give a top players oly. And they are also preferred to give well players not to give a other players. In this via what we known is only the advertisement and sponsers are emerging. So no more player not able to come. But now many of the players to come for a earn a money in the field of modernization sports. In the world Indian priemier league only gave large amount of prices, cash when comparing other countries. So that other country team players also attracted by Indian sports and coming to join a ipl. For this some kind of players can't able to participate in a sports. They feel target of this what mean to earn a good money. So never chances to make well player in a Indian team sports.

I do agree that Modern Day Sport in Industrialized Society is an Industry. Many players are indulged in match fixing. Sponsorship has made cricket so popular that other games popularity are degrading day by day. Even our national game hockey has been ignored. Many other cricket games are introduced like 20-20's, IPL etc which entertains our public. And they stick all day long to this game.

Even actors are also indulging in cricket games, like one of my contender said "the actors who are in cricket business are buying cricketers according to their scores". Technically we say it as "auction". This shows that the game is modernised. Many cricketers, out of their greed, are indulging in match fixing scandals, which are regarded as illegal in India.

In my opinion, I should say that all other games like volley ball, hand ball, hockey should be given equal importance like cricket is getting, now-a-days.

Sport is an activity where players present their passion with absolute dedication. Sport is followed widely across the globe and no doubt it is one of the sector from which a country gets its reputation. Besides it brings name, money and fame to the players.

In some cases it also acts as the media for a good relationship between countries which in turn will open a path to different sectors too and contribute a share in GDP.

When a country gets to host a Tournament or Commonwealth games, it gets an opportunity to portray its image to the world in other phases too. Such occasions will help in showing our hospitality, tourism etc which inturn will help increase our GDP too. If all is well we could extract FDI also.

In between there are people who bet on outcomes of the game for whopping amounts though knowing its illegal and sometimes they also rope in some players for huge amounts spoiling the quality of game. These scenarios degrade the quality of game and people attitude too. As a coin has 2 sides we will have to adhere such cases sometimes and ignore them, as this is spread globally.

Hence I would conclude YES modern day sport plays an important role in industrialising our country.
