A few words before you start...

I have decided to follow this topic because I am actively engaged in sports, I do have a great interest in sports and I generally believe that sport is a significant part of the human experience. Most of the people around me are consuming sports through the media- they do not enjoy to do sports by themselves, they do not have time to do so or whatever is the reason- majority of them agrees that watching the sports on the media is quite exciting and enjoyable occupation. But be warned! Mediated sports do not bring only the fun and entertainment. There are certain negative effects of sports on us and our society. I do not doubt there is also great number of positive effects of mediated sports on our society as well- but that is not what I would like to discuss here. I want to talk about some of these negative effects because I do believe that mediated sports can shape and reflect attitudes of our society. Therefore it is good to realize and identify these effects and observe their impact on the world around us and, in the best case, avoid of them. I hope you will find this blog helpful in this. Have a good time!
