| Ielts Essay - Conduct of Sports Professionals |
The conduct of successful
players has always been under a critical scanner even though the supporters are
emotionally driven to come to defense of these celebrities. However, there
are others who are quite cynical about the irresponsible attitude of sports personnel.
It would not asking for too
much if the attitude of these professionals is not questioned since these individuals have a
great contribution to make to the national pride. The sterling performances of accomplished sportspersons, apart from raising the stakes of a country as a
youthful and fit nation, help it to prominently shine on the map of world. Such
performances are equated by acts of nobility by the masses, which fetches these
individuals a status of national heroes.
Furthermore, ignoring
personal and professional conduct of successful sports personnel finds its
support in their being pivotal to a burgeoning sports industry – that generates
huge employment for a cross-section of skills, directly and indirectly related
to this industry. Moreover, how can one ignore huge business being generated by
commercial entities across the world and a rich bounty of revenues being grossed by the
governments, due to these outstanding sports practitioners. It would not be unjust to give them some room.
The views views of apologists, nevertheless, are quite ludicrous, timid and meek; outstanding performances in sports fail to justify unwarranted on and off-field
actions of noted sports personalities, their stature rather raises the bar of
expectations: they are considered to be ideals by millions. Any instance
of unruly behavior is bound to send wrong signals to masses, especially the youth, who might try to emulate these prominent public figures.
To conclude, I feel that
successful performance apart, personal and professional conduct is an integral
part of any occupation, including sports persons; hence, their behavior
whether professional, or personal can hardly be overlooked for public good.
