Sports is not wasting money.
There is a major misconception here. Some people believe that sports is a waste of money. It is terribly wrong. My family has been in the US for most part of our lives. I simply do not see it that way.
I have to disagree with ChineseStan and some others. Sports is not a BMW or any other luxury car. It is a necessity. It is something between a family sedan and a tractor. It helps a family to achieve its goals.
In America, sports is a major industry. It provides millions of jobs to American families. It is a very important part of US economy. Like an automobile, if you use it purely for fun, you might be wasting some money, depending on how you think. If you use it to work, it could help your family very much. In China, you guys might still consider an automobile as a luxury. Here in America, it is just a way of transportation. Without a car, you would not even get a good job in most cases.
Likewise, sports is very important for a country. It could benefit a country in many ways, including economy.
You guys should be very proud of your team. Whenever American teams perform well, I have not seen a single American have any negative thought about that. This is a spirit Chinese people should catch up. A strong country needs strong metality from its people. China is no exception. |
