Modern Day Sport in Industrialized Society is an Industry

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.

I have to agree with all those who have responded in favour of this topic.

Initially, sports was a form of building competitive spirit, stamina, and motor skills, in a group or an individual activity. Gradually, these events were much enjoyed and fancied by local masses. With the advent of social media, modern sports grew so profoundly and are easily accessible, that our congregation amplified as well.

With this, there has been a rising impact on the players, team managers, official boards and some major investors' interests. These interests lead to a swelling industry with players as its major assets. It is undeniable that modern day sport is an industry in the current industrialized society.

The base motive of any industry is to gain profits. The base motive of the people in any industry is to gain profits by any means possible. All industries in the industrialized society are in a horse race. And due to this reason, not only is the modern day sport industry wavering in its eclat but it also made sports as a controversial activity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
