The Post # 6: a world of sport

In my life, the sports are very important, because it’s an activity that makes me healthy and happy. When I’m doing some sport, in my case Karate, I can release all the stress of the daily routine. Thus, when people play any sport, for example soccer, this is very good for keeping a good health, and feeling better with themselves. For me, running must be a national level sport, because for people it’s very necessary to run for a while at least once per week, since that is a sport for which you don’t need anything for practicing it, and it helps a lot to prevent heart failures in the future. This activity can encourage other people with politics to promote sports. And with this, all people can realize that it’s important for them, and take conscience of it.
Chile, compared with others countries, is a very lazy country in these activities, for example, in Argentina there are a lot of sports , as stadiums, gyms, soccer and tennis courts, and a lot of possibilities to practice any sports. In Chile there is an absence of initiatives to promote
sport. In Chile, there is a sport called Rodeo a la Chilena that sometimes is very criticised, because it’s about catching a young bull that could be injured. For me, this activity is not a sport, but a traditional custom. Maybe with a few measures to take care of the animals we could keep this practice. But for me, the activity that for some people can be considered a sport, and for me must be eradicated, it’s the cockerel fights. In this activity, these animals are very injured, and in a lot of cases, they are killed. This is an insane activity that must be eliminated, and the people who practice it should be punished

  1. Hello Marcelo!!!
    I totaly agree with you that we are a lazy country in sports activities. As you mentioned Argentina, It's good to mention also how Cuba is always promoting sports in their citizens. That's way we always see Cuban people participating in many sports activities, especially Volleyball.
    We must improve our social politics on this matter, and make a "extreme makeover" to the institutions like "Chiledeportes" which has been a corrupted institution last time, lossing a lot of money that could be a really big help to the development of sports.
    Greetings !
