(Edited)

Hello, sports lovers, welcoming you in this new week of sporting events and surely wishing you here in this community to grow more and hoping that you would be more jolly in living with sports and be with the part of it. May,Almighty bless you all.

Today, I would be sharing something related to the good facts of the sports and outdoor competitions.Its interesting to see how the sports have evolved over the years and as well the intentions been changed with the ages.

Yesterday, I was thinking about the whole concept of sports and the long held history of it. These days, looking at the views of sports, no longer we get to see the old days romance and merriment of playing that, but its about the commercial aspects that adorn the arenas and stediums that we get to see most often.

Now, we would be stating out the over view of the sports, the comparison of the yesterday's sports and those we see today.

How was the Sports Back A Century Ago.

Reading out from ancient books and those scriptures and experiences written by travellers, it came to know that the main objective of the sports back then was to set up the unity for the men who were once at daggers drawn for fighting with each other, busy in strife and contention, not joining hands to fight against external threats and keping the unity intact.This was the case of primitive ages and since then we got to see new upheaval and new version came with the influence.

Nearly a thousands of years ago,Olympics came to unite the kingdoms that were in consistent strife with each other. That went on for years, but after a brave men came up to secure the kingdom and the general people and you know he had a smart plan and that was to make them engaged in something that would create quality time -spending and they got something which is played as a form of recorded rules, in the end naming it as sports.

Modern Day Sports & Looking At It.

Sports have many objectives to make, just like making people aware of the fellow feeling,creating the vital bondings among the players, raising the level of standards while playing,retaining the character to win out in all competitions and this practices help players to know about life and living, about what makes human great.This is a cycle that goes through, with this in hand, they achieve the objective targets.

Now,apart from this theoretical aspects,which can be seen from other angles. Today, sports have lost the theme for which it was created, quite a long time ago.Today,looking at the actual scene of the sporting arena, only the commercial aspects can be seen and felt. Betters betting millions of dollars to high voltage matches and earning a unscrupulous living with this.

Back a century ago,popular sports been played by empires vs empires, between nations and states. The idea of arranging a tournament like sporting events came off late and for that reason rapid frequencies came afloat and players started to become highly professional with this new annexation.Sports in this age has lost the sole objective for which it had been created thousand years ago,rather they look for more profits and adding the color of business here in this.

One Harsh Witness About Sporting Competition.

Now, as I mentioned above, there were the sole objective for participating in sporting competition, that was to raise the level of modesty and honest behaviour against the opposition. There were even the historical aspects that says, sports been arranged to drive out strife among nations, clearing the route for people to join hands in harmony, but nobody looks for this now!

Contending nations nowadays arrange sports that ends up creating more conflicts and adding up the status of contention and strife. People from both nations quarrel with each other and they grow more divided.This consequences arent good at all and nobody accepts this kind of behaviour from the people and surely thinking from the organisations perspectives, and If I would be the Head of that,I would cut loose that and make sure to have a balance between them.

Final Remarks.

Sports have an amazing appeal and this can not be crossed ever in the future.Talking about the entertainment arena, the real decent bit of merriment can be found through this sporting actions.
I hope,sports would get the increased reputation and fame in the days to come.

Thanks for reading this till the end.See you next time with another write.

Insightful piece!

Yes, it is true that sports have been commercialized but it is not out of place. Still, sports unites people a great deal.

Yeah,sports unite people in universal theme,but when you do see it in some cases then the "clear picture" would be shown to us.

Nothing has strong appeal than the sports, its true and same for unification.
But there are others..
And I showed how it could be in the last part of the blog.
