This situation brings advantages for many people who love sport but don't have time or money to attend live sports events.

In recent years, as a result of the development of TV channels, more and more sport programmes are shown on television. Some people see sports as entertainment and a large number of people are interested in sports. [Where is the topic sentence? - Nicole]

Some people believe that there are many advantages for both players and spectators. For the players, they can ask for large salaries to enjoy their lives. It might be the power to let them become much better. For the business, because sports are becoming popular, people always like to join in some club, so it brings lots of benefits for the sports clubs, financially. For the people, it makes them interested in sports, also, they might choose one or more of them to practise themselves. It's good for their health.

On the contrary, others believe that it will be unimaginable if the sports programmes are shown on television all the time. Firstly, the price of sports matches will rise quickly, it really harms spectators benefits. Secondly, some clubs which are not big enough mightbe harmed financially, it's pretty bad for small businesses. Thirdly, there are so many sports programmes on television, so people prefer to stay at home and watch mathces instead of spending a lot of money going to playgrounds. Finally, it makes people always stay at home and watch TV. It's really bad for their health or family.

All in all, sport programmes are not so bad. They can help people save money, however, we cannot show sports programmes all the time. Nobody can deny that watching sports at home is not as exciting as being there.
