Pau Ferndau writes:

It is difficult for me to define my thoughts about sports. On one hand, I think that everyone should play sports. Sports are an excellent way to meet people, make friends and build teamwork. Some of the best memories I have as a kid revolve around different sporting competitions or practices with my friends. Sports are an excellent way to stay healthy and keep your body fit.

Mushamen Abdul writes:

I know that some people love sports. It seems like they are constantly watching sports or going to sporting events or playing sports or talking about sports. My neighbor is one who never stops talking about sports. Her whole day could be influenced by the results of different games that she watched on the TV. I’m here to tell you why I think she is silly and that I believe that sports are given too much importance in our world.

Lin Park Davis writes:

I can’t believe that anyone could think that men and women deserve the same amount of pay for being professional athletes. I know that equality is a hot topic these days, but I definitely don't agree with equality in salaries when it comes to sports. There are so many reasons that men should get more money than their female counterparts. I’d love to tell you why I have this opinion.

Carmen Flores Martin writes:

I think the fact that male and female professional athletes have a gap in their salary is truly reprehensible. I know that there are many arguments about this subject, so I have made a list of reasons to show why male and female athletes should be making the same amount of money for the professions that they have.

Jake Edmond writes:

Lately I have seen a lot of announcements inviting people from the town to participate in sports leagues. I just want to make my opinion clear. I do like sports, but only at the professional level. I don’t understand why amateurs would want to waste their time playing sports without getting paid. Lots of people don’t agree with me, so I have found some reasons to support my opinion.

Anne Erin Carton writes:

My opinion on sports is that you can never get enough of them. I love to play sports, watch sports, talk about sports, listen to sports. I think everyone should play sports every chance they get. When I was young I started playing tennis and baseball. I was never very good at either of those sports, but I still loved playing. In my sports leagues, I met friends, and made sure I always had something to do.

Who Said It?

We put too much emphasis on sports.

Sports have too much influence on our lives.

Male athletes should make more money than females.

Mushamen

Lin

Everyone should make the same amount of money.

Amateur sports are a waste of time.

Sports are good for everyone.
