Sponsors don’t want to give money in duels, that people don’t watch and it’s hard to provide some sports without money. That’s why women are not able to make some of the sports or have their own competitions. Some sportswomen think that there is a discrimination of women in tennis, because on some of the tournaments they aren’t paid as good as men. It’s not a discrimination. It’s just because public isn’t interested to watch women competitions.
There are fans in every sport and they like to participate on game. Fans go on stadiums to see their favourite teams or players. One of the most popular sports for fans is soccer. Some of the soccer stadiums can effort 60-80 thousand people. Between those thousands of people are always some who don’t know how to behave. One of the worst group of vandals were „Rowdies“. It was a British group of soccer fans. There was a soccer match between FC Liverpool and Juventus Turin on May 29th in Brussel, on Heysel Stadium. Rowdies couldn’t miss that match. Stadium was crowded. During the game, Rowdies got in fight with another group of fans. They were acting like wild animals. Many of people were trying to run away down on the field. They couldn’t, because of fences. 39 people died in couple of seconds because of terrible behaviour of an enthusiastic admirers of sport. After this game many of soccer stadiums were divided in more sections, so big groups of fans don’t get a chance of physical contact. Another part of a business that is connected with sports is a business with a computer games. These software companies make a lot of money on their games. There are many of cool games on a computers and many of families have a computers. It’s not good for kids. There used to be much more kids outside, playing games. Today many kids are playing games just through their computers. Some of them don’t even know the pleasure of a real sport, and they hardly find a new friends by sitting in front of computers. The sport facilities in Slovak Republic are pretty good, I think. In winter there are good conditions for skiing on the north of the country and in the summer it is a nice place for mountain biking. Ski jumping or cross country skiing are possible in High Tatras also. High Tatras was one of the candidates for Winter Olympic Games 2002 and now High Tatras candidates for Winter Olympic Games 2006. There are pretty good facilities for sports in Bratislava also.
