one-ness builds up. A cricket match between India and Australia may be scheduled in 
Chennai, and a fan from Australia may visit Chennai to watch the game. This way, sports 
improve the tourism sector and contribute to the economy. 
 
Research shows that sport has a positive impact on people. People who play sports such as 
football or tennis improve their cardiovascular system and are at less risk of conditions like 
blood pressure. So it helps in maintaining good health. Also, a person learns how not to get 
demotivated during failures. So it helps manage stress effectively.  
 
On the flip side, sports has become one of many businesses to make money. So players are 
under tremendous pressure to win and resort to drugs to get the extra energy. This ruins their 
health and brings down the image of the nation they represent. Under severe compulsion to 
win, they treat their opponent as an enemy (Eg: boxing), and sometimes the referee has to 
penalise a player for harming the other. These may be the reason people argue that sports 
have to practised only as a leisure activity and not taken seriously. 
 
To recapitulate, sports helps a great deal in creating an ideal society and should be given 
utmost importance. But we should also be careful not to make it a business.
