The games are really commercionalized in past couple of years. Games turned into a big shows in which the sports stars make s lot of money. The other part of business in sport is buying and selling players. Every professional player or team has a manager who is supposed to take care about good image, sponsors and the business around the game. Some of sponsors advertise their products that are unhealthy such as tobacco or alcohol companies. For example one of the biggest sponsors of Formula 1 is Marlboro, the tobacco monopoly company. In some of the countries is this advertising illegal, but in most of the countries around the world the governments don’t care. I think that all of these countries should make this kind of advertising illegal. I am sure there are enough other sponsors to effort all of these professional sport activities. Where the money are, there are politics too. Some of the politics use sport meets to make their own campaigns. For example the 1936 Olympic Games were awarded to Berlin prior to Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1933. As the world watched Hitler’s extreme nationalism many wondered if it would conflict with the international spirit the Olympics fostered. Hitler had used Olympic games to promote the superiority of the race. After that the Games were called off during the Second World War. Olympic Games were used through the whole history as a tool or mouthpiece, to further political movements or ideas. The most famous sport competitions are the Olympic Games, Goodwill games and World Student Games. The Olympic Games were already held in ancient Greece. The Olympics were renewed by Pierre de Coubertin about a hundred years ago, and today as well as in ancient times they take place every four years. Pierre de Coubertin was born in Paris and he believed in the Greek athletic ideal of perfection of mind and body. Since 1924 there are two parts to the games. The winter part and the summer part, which alternate once every two years. There are also Paralympic Games known. The Paralympic Games are the zenith of competition for elite athletes with physical disabilities. The fundamental philosophy guiding the Paralympic movement is that these world-class athletes should have opportunities and experiences equivalent to those afforded non-disables athletes. In order to complete in the Paralympics, each athlete must meet strict qualifying standards and be selected to his or her national team. The other famous competition are the Goodwill Games.
