Has it been negative? Positive? Both? Too much competition? Not enough?

It has focused our society to prize athletic prowess vs. intellectual ability. Thus some student athletes do not receive a proper education and associated life skills. What happens to them if they get a major injury? They founder.
Sports have provided many, many metaphors that are commonly used and understood by most people.
I feel that introducing competitive sports too early to children makes them self-indulgent, less cooperative, and less considerate to others. We should never teach children to "win at all costs" unless we want them to grow up to be monsters.

It has been positive in some ways because kids don't just sit and watch T.V. some of us actually play the sports and try to excersise. On the other hand some people go anorexic or bullimic to get into a sport or they take steroids but I mean nothing is perfect so yeah.

We obviously haven't felt the impact of soccer yet!!! out of the world cup and what in the first round!! anyway...unfortunantly we live in a ULTRA competitive society as adults, so i think any sports that teaches teamwork and integrity is great for kids...but overall i think it has had a positive effect.....

President Kennedy made it a objective for guy to be victorious in the Moon by utilising the tip of the Nineteen Sixties. What observed became an area race via the Nineteen Nineteen Sixties between the u . s . and the Soviets (the U.S., presently Russia). each fulfillment became pronounced and hyped as a countrywide victory. the gap race became a rallying element to boot as a countrywide schedule. We watched the form take place in our residing rooms on stay television feeds from area. Detractors pronounced issues like "we are in a position to deliver a guy to the Moon, yet we can't treatment starvation, we can't treatment the trouble-free chilly." in spite of the indisputable fact that it captured everyones mind's eye who regarded on the sky and questioned what's particularly available.

Good impact. It gives people with nothing to do, something to do so that they dont sit inside and get fat. Sometimes a little competition is a good thing, it releases your energy and anger.

Sports is just like another form of entertainment. It also brings out the competitivness in all of us. Its also family orientated. I would rather my kids watch sports than Vandam shooting some guys brains out all over a NewYork city street. Their is no harm in watching sports on television.
