Why you shouldn’t watch Matches (sports)

Everyone (mostly) watches some kind of sports. It can be cricket, soccer, tennis, etc.

If you want to become successful in life and you are watching sports then there are only two reasons :

      1)     You are sports player who admires certain players of that sport and want to become               like them. You are spending your quality time in learning be watching those players.

      2)     You are earning money from Matches (like owning a team, using apps like dream 11,             etc.)

You must be thinking that why is there any harm in watching my favourite team’s match (especially if it is Ronaldo vs Messi or India vs Pakistan).

I still remember the saying of my mother when I was in 7th standard.

It was late at night around around 11:30pm (we always go to sleep before 10). My father, brother and I were watching cricket match India vs____(I can't remember the other team). But on that day it was around 11:30 and the three of us were watching TV. My mother was trying to sleep but there was a sixer in the match and me and my brother shouted ‘chakka’ (6).  this time my mother  wake up from her sleep and got angry with us and started shouting on us, “ they have their life and now they are on TV do something in life so one day people will watch on TV. Just go to sleep! Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?”

I don't remember whether team India lose or win that match but after that  I was thinking about what my mother said and maybe this is one of the reason that why I lost my interest in watching sports.

It's not only the players who are making money but others like the owner of team, stadium, sponsors, private companies, etc. and what are you making other than wasting time or spending money on that ticket.

Let's get straight to this, why you are watching sports because you need entertainment in
your life. Aren't you enjoying the job you are doing or the study?  Then it's time for you to start enjoying the stuff you are doing by changing your viewpoint towards it or change the job (work).

The whole point of not watching sports is that you are using that time to some productive work towards achieving your goals.

I may be harsh on you but there are other reasons too why you are watching :

1)     Its your son/daughter/friend/father/mother/relative who is playing

2)     When you were young you played that sport that’s why you are watching it because you are emotionally attached to it.

3)   You support the players.
4)     You get excited to see how players perform/play.

5)     May be other reasons that I am not able see from my point of view. (comment below why you watch)

I don’t watch sports but I admire all those athletes who do the hard work and show the world who they are in the matches.
