Sports Persuasive Speech

765 Words4 Pages

Good Morning/Afternoon Board of Directors for Channel 7. Whenever you turn on the TV, you are going to, at some point, see some kind of rugby, swimming or athletics. Television events such as the Olympics and Commonwealth Games showcase swimming, athletics etc. in a very bright spotlight. However, there are sports that are pushed aside, sidelined and not broadcast unless someone representing Australia has made it further than expected or has won a medal of some description. This is unfair to all those in the minority that have spent time, put in effort and sacrificed so much just to go. All to never even be recognised if they didn’t make it past the heats. Not only is this wrong, it is completely unfair. Today I will speak about why all sports …show more content…

In Australia, sports like rugby and tennis are broadcast regularly. We even get the Super Bowl broadcast, even though we have nothing to do with American Football for the rest of the year! These popular sports take up all the time dedicated to sports broadcasts, leaving other sports to be sidelined. The reason for popular sports to be broadcast is because many people participate in them or enjoy watching them. TV companies therefore broadcast these sports as they gain ratings. However, if these minority sports were given a larger spot on TV, people might actually want to watch them! Shocking, I know. Take Table Tennis for example. A fun game that you can play at most caravan parks when you go away on holiday. Now, hands up if you saw that being broadcast for the last summer Olympics! (None…Just as I suspected/(number) were they highlights or actual matches? My point exactly.) Quick side note: hands up if you heard that last October I competed at state level for archery, won and took away 4 state records? (number) Figures. It never got put in the newsletter. If we gave all sports equal broadcasting time, we would be acknowledging the existence of sports that are outside the top 5 in the world, maybe even inspiring others to join. This is why it is imperative that all sports be given equal broadcasting time. My conclusion? Giving all sports equal broadcasting time would be acknowledging all of the hard work put in by athletes in the sports they love. Thank you for your time and your

    I sadly have to say womens athletics are also often disregarded. For example, the now-famous tennis match between tennis Hall of Famers Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs shows the way women's sports are viewed throughout our society. King's goal was to close the pay gap between her and her colleagues because there was a great difference in between their salaries. Billie Jean King felt that “women's sports were still generally treated as a novelty,” (Ott 2). She needed to beat Riggs in order to demonstrate that she is not inferior to men.

    The sport of wrestling has grown tremendously in the last ten years, but it’s still nothing compared to soccer. Wrestling is one of the oldest sports in the world, dating back to 776 B.C. It was done in the early Greek olympics. You would think that with a sport that has been around this long more kids would do it, but sadly that isn’t the case. So sports channels should help the cause. People that have wrestled for awhile want to keep tabs on their favorite teams.

    How come we can’t see the same thing inside youth-sports? If a team loses all their games in a season, the kids can receive a token for playing – whether it be a shirt, team photograph, maybe even a pizza party. But, the kids should not be receiving a participation trophy or medal. I’m not heartless, but I can agree with Dr. Fader, HBO and others that the wall full of participation paraphernalia is doing more harm than

    Although over time gender discrimination has grown progressively over the years, one place that gender inequality is not fully present is in the sports world. Gender inequality in sports has been an issue in the industry for centuries. For years and years women faced the issues of lower pay, not as much publicity and not being appreciated as a female athlete. Clearly, even in this prevalent era of alleged equality and impartiality, most sports still remains as a male dominion, as there still is an unnoticed barrier between sport and woman. Through this analysis, I wanted to investigate some of the initial causes for the above circumstances.
