I am not good at English ah! Please help me!(3)

Many countries would like want to invest in professional training centers rather than build public sports facilities, I think every government have has their own idea about that it, I think it should be has three reasons of that. there are many reasons for this

First reason is budget, as well as I know specialized sport training centers that are for athlete and they will spend a lot of money to keep it, but this centre also can help the country earn money. For example during the 2008 Olympic game China spend billions of money to built water cube, but after that the  the Olympics this centre can still service  is still used by for normal people, they can also provide professional facility's for specialized athlete and it can earn more money than normal time, the gym was became is very expansive when athlete rent them for training.

Second reason is one famous athlete can provide giant number of taxes for country. Michal Jordan is the most famous athlete in the history of NBA, he is not only make everyone in the world know about NBA known worldwide, but he is also the boss of Charlotte Bobcats, so I have to say he did a lot for economic good for America's economy. 

Third reason is nothing about money, public sport facilities is useful for our health but if our country have a famous athlete it is better for example if our country has a famous soccer player, I think Chinese soccer team will become stronger, and we already have example of that: Yao Ming , he makes me love basketball but before that I just know Jordan, and nowadays most if not all teenagers in China would choose basketball rather than soccer.

I think this is the reason why country choose invest on professional facilities rather than public sport equipments.

Hope this helps, by the way I prefrer soccer to basketball! Then again I am English we love football :)
