答案
The question of who should fund national sports teams and individual sports men and women has been brought into focus by the great increase in the cost of financing sports teams and people. Some people argue that finding this funding is the responsibility of the government, but others believe that it should come from non-governmental organisations. Personally, I see no reason why sports teams and sports people shouldn’t be funded by a combination of sources. People who support government funding say that sports teams and sports people represent their countries and so should be supported by their governments. Successful sports teams and individuals are like advertisements for a country. Communist governments in particular are famous for their lavish financing of sports teams and individual sports people in an attempt to increase their prestige. People who oppose government funding of sports teams and individuals say that this is precisely why governments shouldn’t be responsible for the funding. They say that the political importance of sporting competitions and matches often overshadows what should be a celebration of sporting skill and ability. People who are in favour of government financial support for sports teams and individuals also point out that it is often difficult to get financing from other sources. Businesses are usually willing to support only the most successful sports stars and sports teams, leaving many without an alternative source of money. Just because a person or a team is not currently successful, it doesn’t mean that they will always be. Governments, rather than businesses, can invest in sports teams and individuals because it is good in general, not just because they expect some profit from it. Opponents point out that sport should be like any other activity and should compete for funds on its merits. My personal opinion is that sports teams and individual sports men and women need a lot of money and that it is unreasonable to expect the government, with its limited budget, to finance it alone. Sports teams and individuals should be encouraged to find money from a variety of sources, rather than just one.
