Modern Day Sport in Industrialized Society is an Industry

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.

Yes, I too believe that the more a nation progressed in industrialization the more the people got money to invest into sports. Individuals like businessmen and filmstars are buying cricket teams football teams or hockey teams and contesting among themselves. Sports have become to show a power of money. The more you invest the more you get best world class players and the more you earn or make a profit from these games. So it has become an easy money making Industry like a gamble. In contrast other players like tt badminton or wrestlinv, they don't get state support to pursue their dreams. Many a time sports persons need to give up on their dreams to earn a good job. So I would like to request the govt to allocate the better amount in the budget for these players who cannot participate in ipl or epl like matches but still can pursue their dreams to get world wide accolades. Thank you.

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.

In my view, yes the above-mentioned statement is correct. In the sense that the sports like cricket, kabaddi, badminton, tennis etc are emerging from day to day due to money and fame earning. Nowadays most children's are choosing sports as their career option because of the emergence of these sports. Sports has become an industry in the sense that most of the people earn their living by depending on the sports for example bat making industry, kit making industry, telecasting, also the bets apps like dream11 and also due to the interest creating in the people to watch them, sponsors. I think sports has become the most entertained and relaxed one and providing employment to lots of people and I think there is no problem even the sports has industrialised due to lots of profits it making for the country and also the players should play fair and clean.

I agree with the topic as today instead of playing with the sportsman spirit, players are playing taking it as their profession for earning.

And moreover a large number of teens instead of watching matches for enjoyment, moving towards watching them for earning money by indulging themselves in practices like bookings.

Even the players are also valued against money while making teams as seen in IPL.

These practices in the race of becoming rich and earning money in today's industrialized societies are turning sports in an industry.

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.

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.

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 totally agree with this topic. Now a days sports are becoming an industry, people try to get some profit out of sports. For example IPL, during IPL managers of the team try to hire the player by his fame, so that he can get maximum profit out of it.

In other case as well, like when a nation is chosen to host games like OLYMPIC or COMMONWEALTH games, it get a chance to show its hospitality and tourism. It helps to increase the GDP of a country.

Yes I agree with the point but it does not mean players have less passion about the game.

Because to get greater money and attention, they have to perform well. This modern day sports attracts more people by its advertisements, promotion and new technology. A big example is - Today IPL becomes a big business for those people who are associating with this.
