Since
my earliest memories sports has
always been a part of my life.
Having participated in many
different types of sports especially
as in the
Junior Olympics in
track and field (as a runner),
the
Olympics in
wrestling
along with being a wrestling
coach.
Sports gave me feelings of
accomplishment and well being. I
enjoyed the many friendships and
camaraderie the activity
provided.
Today sports, with the advent of
huge stadiums,
sponsorship, the
internet,
computers,
social media,
television,
professional sports and
even college events, has affected the sports and
athletes and has become a major business in both
colleges and the field of entertainment, because it
can bring in major sources of money and accolades.
Professional athletes now get into the sports as a
sole source of income in which millions are paid and
stardom is a way of life. Sports should be about the
love of participating, the building of muscles, the
relief of stress and boredom and the establishment
of long term camaraderie. Integrity in the game
should always be a big part of how the players play,
coaches coach and fans take part. It has become a business
with stardom and political attributes with all its
issues and shortcomings.
"The
integrity of the game is everything."
