Sport is more than just games - It’s big business
Author: NiamhPresident Obama is off to Copenhagen to back Chicago’s bid for the Summer Olympics. That’s proof of the importance of the Olympic Games to any country in economic as well as sporting terms. Who ever gets the games will benefit financially but we should remember that the elite athletes are exceptional.
Sport is for all whatever our age or ability. As we get older we may only be able to manage a swim in the pool but we can always retain our interest in sport by supporting a team, joining a fan club or working for a club. We may choose to follow soccer the beautiful game or trudge around the golf course after Tiger Woods. We may think that Muhammad Ali was the best fighter ever or we may simply present the prizes at a school sports day. There is no doubt though that sport is an integral part of our culture and for many people an absorbing hobby or a lucrative business.
