It is true that now sport has gained a lot of financial investment from the sponsors. While I understand that critics may see this as having negative impacts on many people, I believe that there are some benefits of this trend. On one side of the argument, there are several reasons why sponsoring sports has downsides. The main reason for this belief is that the companies may be affected seriously financially as the athletes’ performance will impact directly to the revenue as well as profit of the firms. Indeed, if a football team loses after a series of matches, their main sponsor will be also affected negatively, even the value of their stock will decrease. It is also possible to say that sports could have inadequate images if it is sponsored by the companies which produces unhealthy things such as fast food, alcohol or tobacco. Therefore, when watching sporting programs, people, especially children, will have misconceptions about the link between sports and harmful health products. On the other hand, I contend investing in sport brings many benefits. It is often said that in fact, there is no sport competition that could be held without sponsorship. To be specific, every sport event from the small-scale sports tournaments to global ones such as Worldcup, Olympics need money to operate. A second point is that sponsoring funds is a good way to nurtue the talented young athletes. For example, in Vietnam, numerous companies are too focus on football, thus athletes in other sports are not praticed with adequate sport facilities or even they have to quit their passion owing to the lack of sponsorship and income. To recapitulate, while a number of people think sponsoring sports has negative impacts, I personally suppose that theses investments could bring lots of benefits.
