Should sport be political ?

Nowadays media enable us to access more content through TV channels, radio and social media. Among those contents, sport is one of the most famous. That popularity may result in political consequences. Should sport be related to politics ?

To start with, I think that sport was meant to let people have fun and to forget the problems of life. So, sport should not be political. Indeed, sports mostly consist in a game, that many or few will watch as a hobby. So, sport is not to be political, because it would require sport players and sport managers to focus on that rather than being fully focused on the game.

In addition to that, sports should not be political, nor expected to be so, because neither sport players nor sport managers are fully prepared to handle those political issues. True, more and more players have courses about how to deal with that, but there still is a tremendous amount of player, who had not benefited from that.

However, players should not be allowed to act the way they want if this is inappropriate. Why ? Because they are like models for children and teenagers in the world. So, players have to behave in order to show example, but sports should not be used as tools in politics. Nevertheless, I still admit that sport happen to become political when a specific sport become popular enough to get publicity all over the world. Those kind of sport will be used as tools in politics and will convey a political message. For example, in the English football Premier League, Zaha, a football player, had not knelt at the beginning of a game. Players usually knee at the beginning of games to oppose racism. Zaha wanted to say that kneeing is useless without actions and mostly useful actions. How would that not be political? So, sport conveys a political message, even if it had not been meant to be used this way, on condition that that sport is famous.

I agree with the fact that useless affirmative actions should be singled out by any way to improve society. But I don’t think sports should be used as tools of soft powers, even if I know most countries use sport this way.
However, if sport should be apolitical to my mind, sport can still be a way to convey a major message for society and so to be political. Indeed when sport players use their fame in order to talk about political issuers. It means that they are aware of the responsibility and the clout they can have through sport. For example, Didier Drogba succeeded in putting an end to a civil war in Ivory Coast with a speech at the end of match he won with the Ivorian team.

All in all, I think that sport should not be meant to be political, but it has to be political when sport players realize how important that is to make the world a greater place.

Corrections

Should sport be political ?

Nowadays media enables us to access more content through TV channels, radio and social media.

I had to look up why "media" in this sentence is treated as singular (so needs "enables") rather than plural. It's like the "The media is present" example on this page: https://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/media_singular_or_plural.htm

Among those contents (or "this content"), sport is one of the most famouspopular.

In terms of the rest of the passage, "popular" fits here better than "famous". "This content" sounds more natural, but "those contents" is fine grammatically.

That popularity may result in political consequences.

Should sport be related to politics ?

So, sport should not be political.

Indeed, sports mostly consist in a game, that many or few will watch as a hobby.

Because they are likrole models for children and teenagers in the world.

So, players have to behave in order to show an example, but sports should not be used as tools in politics.

Nevertheless, I still admit that sport happens to become political when a specific sport becomes popular enough to get publicity all over the world.

Those kinds of sports will be used as tools in politics and will convey a political message.

For example, in the English football Premier League, Zaha, a football player, hads not knelt at the beginning of a gamematch.

"Had" implies that he has now knelt. e.g. "he had not knelt at the beginning of a game until ... happened". Also in football "match" is more often used instead of game in terms of the contests.

Players usually kneel at the beginning of games to oppose racism.

Zaha wanted to say that kneeing is useless without actions and mostly useful actionstaking action that is effective.

How wouldcan that not be political?

So, sport conveys a political message, even if it had not been meant to be used this way, on condition that thate sport is famouspopular.

"that that" is also grammatical, but using "that the" avoids the double "that" which can look weird in writing (though sounds absolutely fine).

I agree with the fact that useless affirmative actions should be singled out by any way to improve society.

But I don’t think sports should be used as tools of soft powers, even if I know most countries use sport this way.

All in all, I think that sport ishould not be meant to be political, but it has to be political when sport players realize how important thasport is toin makeing the world a greater place.

Or "...when sport players realize how important they are in making..." depending on whether you mean sport is important or players are important

Feedback

Just one more thing, but I didn't want to mark the sentences as incorrect as grammar/spelling was fine. When a question mark is used, there is no space between the word and the question mark.

Correct: Is this a question?
Incorrect: Is this a question ?

So, sport being political is irrelevant, because it would require sport players and sport managers to focus on that rather than being fully focus on the game.


In addition to that, sports should not be political, nor expected to be, because neither sport players nor sport managers are fully prepared to handle those political issues.


True, more and more players happen to have courses about how to deal with that, but there still are a tremendous amount of player, who had not benefited from that.
