Sports And Sex

[kleong 0]

In recent times, sports have seem its fair share of sex scandals. First up would be Tiger Woods and when the topic is coming to an end, John Terry saga with former teammate and best friend Wayne Bridge's girlfriend came in the scene.Have sports come to such a low or is it because the sportsperson is now regarded as celebrities whose personal life is under scuniny as the actors and actress?

in my view a lot of things have changes over the last decade. These factors have all affected the news that we see in the media as it has become a thousand times easier to access information in today's world. firstly we got camera phones and digital cameras that are now easily accessible and lowly priced. Which means there is now more information about celebrities. This information has then made it easier for celebrity x who was a Z Lister to be spotted kissing a drummer in Band X and the news will now be available on the net like on Youtube and before long there are a thousand hits from all of Celebrity X's fans who ealier on had no access to this info because the mainstream media only covered A listers. Another thing is because of the availability of 12 Meg Digital camera or high spec cameras becoming cheaper and more affordable as well as the high pay offs paparazzi is getting, this bas increased the viability of being a paparazzi and remeber the more unique your pictures are and the bigger the scoop as well as the biggest pushing factor being that Bad news sells, Theres no point having 300 paparazzi staking outside Britneys House and 300 of you get the same picture which will then be harder to sell for a high amount as the other paprazzi will be accepted or undercutting the price for the same photo say you offer a newspaper thet story for 10 000 Pounds, a paparazzi who was with you will offer the same or similar picture probably even better quality for 8 000 and because all other papers will probably have the same story this devalues the story because the paper can really guarantee that its an exclusive and people will choose to purchase that newspaper brand because paper X and The X times and The X news will be running the same story meaning readers will not be specifically drawn to their paper as there might even be cheaper news papers running with the same story.This has then pushed the paparazzi to diversify and take a chance with any celebrity as long as they can get an exclusive. Cause as long as they have an exclusive there is a guarantee that the pay out will be high and it builds a good relationship with the paper for that paparazzi because they will be loyal to him when stories are running dry or when there is competition. This means that even sports people who aren't even that relevant like a refree would suddenly find themselves in the papers for anything silly they do. Even former reality tV starts arent safe, if they as much as cheat on their partners and there happens to be a camera nearby, they will be splashed all over the news the next day. The same applies if they get too drunk, snog another girl, go out without wearing panties, get turned away from a pub get pulled over by the cops, get a flat tyre anything is news as long as papers are willing to buy the stories.Also the rise of dot com businesses and dot com tycoons has made this a possibility with people uploading any celebrity news to their websites and tryna generated as many views on their sites so that with high ranking they get paid more for adverts to be placed on their sites. The reasons are endless. But one thing for sure is that No matter who you are these days you can be a celebrity over night. You dont even have to be a great singer as long as you can do something soooooooooo good and have talent be it sucking off the president like how Lewinsky became famous, or Faria Alarm who is a celebrity in UK for having an affair with the England Soccer/ Football Team Manager or Rebecca Loos who is famous for having an affair with David Beckham. They are now celebrities on their own right and whats shocking is they are even more famous than a lot of Olympic gold Medalist who should be known for being good at their sports and winning the highest ranks at the Olympic games. Look at Tila Tequilla she is famous for having is it a million friends of Facebook and has become a celebrity for something so trivial yet we haardly hear anything about the people that actually created face book. Wierd but i doubt if sports is the one thats come to such a llow but i think its recording technology that has raised to the level where its flooded every market and made information so easily accessible and everyone is trying to come from a different angle so they have the highest following.

It's what you call fast food culture. Everything is quick and cheap and holds very little real
value. If present culture were nutrition we'd be malnourished.

Boy, you hit the nail on the head for sure! We wouldn't be malnourished, we'd be starved completly to death!
It amazes me how people dwell on every silly little detail of celebreties lives, and I would be willing to be the vast majority of people don't even know the name of their congressman or representitive that makes the rules for which we have to live by. These celebraties don't mean squat to us in real life. They have no bearing on anything that truely effects us, they are just there for our entertainment, yet everyone seems so deeply concerned about their lives, (the celebs lives) than they are their own lives. It's pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Good argument. I guess sport and sex are related to beauty and perfect and sportive people tend to be very sexy and attractive. So something beautiful and sexy attracts attention and love, interest and lots of other VIP things. So you can realize your dreams. How could you expect a rich and powerful man like tigerwoods to be faithful to his wife????
