Though sportspersons do not seem to be doing much to the general well being of the public, they are given enormous benefits and rewards upon achievements.

• How right it is to say that sports icon don’t do much to public?
• How far do you endorse the rewards and honours they receive?

I do not need to think twice to say it is premature to claim that sports persons do not do much to public. They do much more than any one else, and the rewards and honours they come to experience are what they very much deserve.

Let me prove that sports persons do much to public. A sports successful sports icon is one who works as the ambassador of a nation, torch bearer for the younger generation and above all the flag carrier of the nation. Sports is a huge industry which promotes allied trades and commerce, strengthens international relations and even acts as catalysts that mend long broken diplomatic relations.

Besides all these, it is right to say that sports persons are able to transform people and influence their attitudes to social and national causes. People look at them with great expectations and they in turn live up-to the expectations of the public. Are they not doing anything to public? They are.

How are the public and nation going to reward them for all these services? Sports titles, honourary positions, degrees, entitlements and above all huge monetary rewards are a few tokens that make sportsperson motivated. For example, some governments offer monetary rewards, some universities honour them with doctorates and some institutions appoint sports icons as their ambassadors of social cause and national causes. It is all worth endorsing.

In short, sportspersons are flag carriers of a nation, and they do much to people directly and indirectly. But, for ordinary public, their service may not be that visible. And the honours and rewards they enjoy are much deserving as well.
