VIOLENCE IN SPORTS

Nowadays, sports games are becoming increasingly exciting and enjoyable. However, something will always break the fair at-mosphere of the games, such as violence.

There are lots of factors that can trigger violence in sports. First of all, judges are a big issue in the games. Some judges will use their power to control the games. This would let players feel un-fair and start a fight. For example, last year, a basketball game in China ended in terrible fighting due to the fact that the main judge of the game was biased for the home team. Just before the match was almost done the players of two teams fought with each other and the guest team's player even wanted to punch the main judge, although the home team won the game. Moreo-ver,the conflict of players can be a considerable factor as well. It is a very common situation in soccer and basketball games. Sometimes players rub or collide opponents. In this case,those who are impatient or serious might have a conflict with others and screw up the game. As a consequence, both judges and players can be the fuse of violence in the

game.

The enthusiastic fans are an important issue as well. In the soccer area, the team club is always fined by associations because of fans' violent clashes with others. The clashes of fans could even become a group fight outside the grounds .

To summarize , people like to watch sports games because of their passion .Even though , no one should be allowed to damage the games. Players ,judges and fans should cooperate to-gether in order to create a harmonious atmos-phere in sports .

I am a big fan of basketball. I like T-MAC KG DW KD and so on. I love to watch NBA on sunday morning when I was a high school student . I en-joy their splendid behavior in basketball。But they have some violent behavior in the basket-ball court.

There are many famous basketball athletes has fought with other athletes. In my memory the Pal-ace of Auburn Hills fights is the most serious fight event in NBA history. Many famous players has been banned to enter the rest games. There are 9 basketball fans injured and two fans been sent to hospital. After the game, the TV leave three lenses. One is the flow with the blood of the fans. One is scary and confused of the father

and daughter, as well as a small fan is being ap-peased. The event caused huge influence at that time .

Many small fans been scared by violence. The violence would give the teenagers a terrible im-pression about the sports. Maybe they will hate the basketball, because the violence make them feel terrible. Maybe some teenagers will imitate the behavior, because teenagers love the super stars and imitate their behavior . Sometimes teen-agers think the violence is very cool.

In my opinion, I really don't want to watch the basketball game with violence. Because many teenagers love to watch sports. I think the part of violence will influence the teenagers. So we should let the sports without the violence.

In this time, sports have become more and more popular. Lots of athletes are working in different teams. However, violence is the most important problem in some matches. This problem has a significant influence for the match and team.

Violence always appears in some sports that have lots of body touch, like basketball and foot-ball. In fact, body touch is not the most important reason for violence appearing. The important rea-son is emotion about the athletes. In match , one team's score is higher than other team. The ath-letes in losing team become hurried and angry. When they have body touch with an opponent

that will appear some excessive behavior and language that will lead to the members of two teams frighting with each other.

Violence has a significant influence on lots of as-pects. First reason every sport advocate fair play . However ,violence argue for fair play . This be-havior will make this two team have big punish-ment,like stop their match and get fine . Second is team fright always make audience fright. The third reason is when children watch violence match they will follow it. It is very dangers.

Violence in sport is very harmful and dangerous. This behavior should stop when appearing . The punishment is necessary . The aim is to make the athletes avoid about it . The other is media

should use objective opinion to report it . To make the readers know the facts about violence.

There are sports where violence is part of their nature like martial arts and those where any vio-lence is considered as a fault, such as soccer or basketball. Hence, the reasons why some ath-letes commit violence can be discussed under the title of on court and off court.

The main goal of doing sports is having a healthy body and mind plus camaraderie and unity. this

is neglected by professionalizing sports and turning them into the sort of jobs which have very high incomes. This financial aspect of sports have made them more competitive and challenging. Consequently, the athletes feel too much pressure and stress during the match in order to win and eventually gain more money. However pressure and stress make them violent because they lose their mental balance.

On the other hand, since people deal with many difficulties throughout life such as economic problems or family conflict, they might do some-thing hastily and nonlogically when they are confronted with problems. The athletes are no exception. It means that when a sportsman carry his own problems and obsessions to the playground, he will show vio-lence at the first clash with another player.

To recap, from my point of view, having a psychologist along with every sports team is as necessary as having a coach for that team. Otherwise we will observe more and more scenes of violence among athletes.

Violence in sport is the use of excessive physical force, which Causes or has obvious po-tential to cause harm or destruction for opponents or the members in the same team. We often think of violence in sport as actions that are illegitimate or unsanctioned, but there are Situations in which the use of violence in sport is encouraged or approved in most groups or societies.

Violence in sport occurs in connection with enforcing norms, or when the sportmen want to win the battle what evert it take or cost.

Sadly, violence has became a part in everyday life. It can be noticed in many forms and in different level in our sport performance, never the violence in sports are or were good. It is unfair to use the power against other to win or to achieve certain goals, without fear of hu-miliation and account the feelings of others. People committing violence. Acts against other. Violence in sport has seen for decades as violation of rule and wrong in the moral-ity.Violence may influence the performance of the spotters and may lead to lose one team in favor of the ones how commit the violence. Fortunately there is laws the oppose hard sanc-tion on such behavior.

In conclusion violence in sport have bad effect in sportsmanship. It is unacceptable. We should Enforce consequences to make it clear that you don't tolerate violence. When par-ticipants realize that their actions have consequences that may affect their future, sports violence can be avoided.

Playing counterfeiting game is a very serious problem in sport. The reason is many sports are against fair play.However Some people use their own power to change the result making a match become a show.

This problem happens in many kinds of sports, such as football, basketball and gymnastics. In those three sports the result is often counterfeit-ing. The first example is about football. Nowa-days many football matches have a relation with economic interest. One team will do not hard work to make other team get scores easily. They do not have fair play. Because of this reason ,the spirit of sport also have changed. Nobody re-members fair play is most important. Basketball also have the same problem.

The other is about gymnastic. This sport will use lots of specialized knowledge. We cannot talk about which player is the best. We just think which movement is most beautiful.

As a result, referees have the power to choice which one is the best . In some important match, referees give the player quite low score. Never-theless the movement of player is perfect. This decision would make great impact on this player. Some of them will lose their match and self-confidence.

As a reporter in media, we should use our own research to give the objective report. Making audience know the fact and how important about this problem. We should give audience a fair match.

Racism in sport

While sports are designed for unity among people, we still ob-serve some unacceptable attitudes in sports which jeopardize this main goal of sports. A vivid example is racism. It refers to some discrimination behavior toward people who belong to a dif-ferent race. This unfair treatment is the result of nurture and envi-ronment.

However, some people believe that racism is disappearing  these days, but in some part of the world people highly deal with ra-cism in sports. For example there is much racism in the UK as this country is a mixing of many races. Environmentally, some of people have learned to treat other people in different ways ac-cording to their race. It means that, when a person grows up in one region with a particular belief how  they should behave with other people especially with different races. They might see how the minority race is treated in an inappropriate way. So these peo-ple learn these attitudes and bring them to society. For example, in one football match in the Uk league, a fan  was offensive to-

9

ward a black skinned football player by acting like a monkey.

In conclusion,a  government and especially the educational ministry should somehow broaden people's knowledge about racism and make them aware of the outcomes of racist behaviors in order to prevent this sort of  racist remarks in future.

Nowadays, sports is very popular. Some people do sports just for fun, some people believe win-ning the competition is the most important thing.

On the one hand, most of us have work to do most of the time. So we want to do some sports to have fun. Sports can provide the time to relax. Also we can make a lot of friends by playing sports and learn how to cooperate. Sport is a good way to communicate with each other.

On the other hand,if everyone wants to win the competition they can't get happiness from sports. They will feel depressed because their competitive spirit is too strong. However winning can make people boost confidence.

All in all ,  people should focus on their health and enjoy the sports instead of winning the com-petition. Winning is only an attitude. When your attitudes and values are right,you are the winner in life.

When it comes to sport,maybe many people will think of basket-ball, football, volleyball... However, today I will tell you some strange sports.

The first one is Wing loading flight which is a extreme sport. The fliers need to wear the clothes which have very strong cloth between legs and arms. After wearing the special clothes they can jump off the mountain when the wind is suitable. Then they can spread their legs and arms so the strong cloth will work just like the bird wings. They can sideways to change the direction and close the legs a little to speed up. It looks like birds flying in the sky. This sport is quiet crazy and special.The next strange sport is from my hometown Nanjing called stone lock. The stone locks are really heavy that usually the lightest are 10 to 15 kilograms, and the heaviest can be 140 kilograms. The players hold one stone lock and throw up then catch it. Someone also let the stone lock is rolled one the arms. It needs huge strength and special skills. Especially the play-ers almost are old people. They always play the stone lock with others in the garden. Sometime they will have a match between themselves. I admire this sport very much.
