Sports are very popular in today's society. Some people believe, "Winning
is the only thing." Others believe, “It’s not whether you win or lose, but how
you play the game." Is there a way in sports in which both opponents could "win"
a game? "Lose" a game? Detail your thoughts on this issue in an essay of about
250 words.
Sports include both national teams and the teams for the rest of us. The
national teams are mainly concerned with winning and with money. The other teams
are mainly concerned with winning and with money. The other teams provide
different satisfactions.
Being on a team helps people learn teamwork - to rely on others and to do
their own part as well. Players learn both to win and to lose. When the team
loses, the members learn that they can come back from a loss. They look for the
reasons they were beaten, work on their weaknesses, and try again. When the team
wins, the members can learn to be gracious winners and good sports.
Sports are also for play. Most of us have work to do most of the time. Now
and then we need to have fun. Sports can provide the time to relax.
If a team helps people learn to work together, lose win, and have fun, it's
a winner regardless of the score. But if players on a winning team have not
worked together, if they feel that winning makes them better than others, if
there was no joy in the sport, those winners are losers.
Having the winning score is important. Being a winner as a person is worth
even more. As a convincing maxim of friendship first and competition second
suggests, we should adhere to equivalence of wining and losing.
