Essay about topic “There are too many sports on television.”

Nowadays, nobody doubts the importance of sports. Sports are an essential tool to personal and social development.
Sports give people important values and principles like respect and solidarity. Sports show the necessity of team work and perseverance in achieving a goal.
Participation in sports can also promote the balanced growth of physical and mental development so it is important for educational institutions and the media to support facilities that will enable people to practice different sports.
However, I think that this support has become excessive. There are television programs dedicated totally to sports.  In the news media they devote more time to sports than to other topics that are more important to people.
I think there is news about the economy, culture, science, and environment that the economic powers and mass media don't broadcast. They think people don’t need that type of news. They prefer that people don’t know this information and they fill the news media with sports.
