1/🧵Are international sporting events a waste of resources? From the World Cup to the Olympics and other such competitions, are they really necessary seeing how much money goes into hosting them every year and also how much the players spend to partake in them? Shouldn't the money be used for something else?
It is the attention market. Capitalist corporations need the attention to push their products to consumers.
2/🧵If there is something I love so much, it is football. I am a diehardof football. Whenever there is a football match, it matters, especially if it is my club I love so much. I am ready to watch the match even if it is midnight most times. If my club loses a match, I will go to bed without eating. For me, hosting international sports events is never a waste of money; it helps in economic growth, unity and tourism, and the host community benefits more. The money used in building those stadiums is never a waste because the stadiums don’t disappear. Every sector has money allocated to them, so when it comes to sport, it is not a waste.
