Modern Day Sport in Industrialized Society is an Industry

Yes, I completely agree with this statement. The rules are being changed to make the game interesting for the spectators, compromising even with some of the strengths of the game. New formats are being introduced and again that is to entertain the public.

Not only this, even the behaviour of the players on the ground is changing to gain popularity and sledging is quite a common thing to see now-a-days. The respect for performance of good team is rare to be seen nowadays.

Even in IPL we see very few youngsters are given a chance to play and the prime aim of the team is to collect money from the game as much as possible.

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 totally agree with the point that the modern day sport in an industrialized society is itself becoming an industry. Due to modernization and social media, sports have lost its sheen. Sports were once played with dedication, competitive spirit and zeal but things are not the same now.

The format has negatively evolved over the years. Top teams are in a battle to buy top players by spending huge amount of money and with more and more celebrities pumping in the industry, Huge amount of cash inflows are pouring in for advertisement and brand endorsements which is destroying the essence of cricket.

Nowadays, sports are played very spiritually, with full of integrity and passion. Sportsmen have full of patience and the facility is also beatifically to the players. Government also lunch so many opportunities for the building of new talents just following as an industry goal. Solidarity is the best published for the modern day sports.

Government should lunch special package for the sportsmen. Sportsmen have the spirit to win-win.

The organizer should create their total format for sport in industrialized society specially like an industry.

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.

Yes, I also agree because various industrial department like JSW is connected to a sport like cricket and football due to this the popularity of the JSW is grown and has become more famous due to which people are active in the industry and various people want to get a job a popular company or industry so. Hence the production of the industry is increasing because more people are connected to it. For example, IPL which is acts as a more profitable business because TATA IPL is the most profitable nowadays.

Thank you

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.

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.

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.

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.
