Problems with sports
Problem 1: Politics, These days so much of the world is negativity and the main problem is the politics, of course people are annoying but politics make them annoying. And when negative people gets involved things go wrong, look at colin kaepernick he negatively impacted a bunch of people. And to be honest i don’t  think that kaepernick ever really sacrificed anything. He wasn't playing all he did was sacrifice the bench he was sitting on. Not all athletes talk about politics and if they do it just goes mainstream in the sports community and doesn't really impact the politics. I'm not saying speaking out is bad at all because its an amendment that you can speak about politics at all, but most fans see sports as an escape of everyday living not to watch them talk about politics. And you might say that they are still adults and whatever they happen to want to do is valid and okay for them. But then again they are when they do speak out it either motivates people or pisses them off and most time it pisses people off because they’re  saying the obvious and not looking things into detail. Virtually, athletes have more power than politicians nowadays, with all the fans they have more people considerably follow athletes, singers, and actors more than politicians. Especially if you’re an athlete like Lebron James, considering he has twenty one million followers that is roughly his fanbase. You can probably even say that more than half of america knows who he is and at least twenty five million cheer for him at home or at games. There are plenty of athletes like this. Not a lot of them speak out to the public about politics but the ones who do it makes a huge impact on what they say with at least thirty million people seeing or hearing them. Problem 2:Youth Sports, there are multiple problems with youth sports but the main one is parents forcing kids to play. That is one of the worst things you can do as a parent besides physically hurting them. I know plenty of people that get forced to play a sport they don't even like, and they are not the happiest people twenty four seven. Another thing that connects to that is when parents yell at you from the stands, what good does that do anyone. It embarrasses the parents and the kid, the other parents think the parent is a phycopath and think that the kid is treated badly at home. Every parent that does this to their kid i see as a horrible parent and i don't care if i'm telling you how to raise your child but making your kid play a sport when they don't want to and then screaming like a little baby when they dont do right is downright pitiful. Considering you are making them play something they don't want to you were probably bad at it in the first place.And you might say that parents can raise their kids anyway they want because the parents had to deal with them in the mother's stomach for nine months, but it still is not okay to do that to a kid even if you had to live with him or her for 9 months inside you. Nothing you ever say or do should embarrass them or hurt them when they did nothing wrong. You could also make an argument that they do it for disciplinary reasons but find a different way that they will like and something that's suitable to them. Not something that you want them to do that they do not like.
