Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer.
ARE SPORTS BAD FOR KIDS?
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while playing with others.
However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-esteem
or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40 million kids play
sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say they have been yelled at or called names while playing sports.
This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression
in children’s sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further
reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because
children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the
message that winning is everything. At children’s sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players
or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players
is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media
makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over
and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches
should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should teach
children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock yourself out to enjoy
sports. Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they
are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health is not as
important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
