Sport is something that is on the societies since a long time ago. It is part of the formation of many civilizations in the world and it became more important a few years back here because of its effects in social issues like business, politics and education. With the advance of technology, like transmission of games on television, people got nearly of all kinds of sports, even those that are not played in their country, like winter games - which is impossible to be played in Brazil, for example. Some people believe that this coverage of sport on television discourages the young from taking part in any sports themselves, but, particularly, a don't believe this is true.

On one hand, overly watching television, is not healthy because makes people sedentary, which is not good for anybody. Studies prove that more you exaggerates on it, more you have heart problems, increase body fat and can prejudice the performance of young on sports. Due to these problems, it is not advised to spend a lot of time on watching television. However, it doesn't means that you cannot watch it.There are lot of good programs on TV that gives information, curiosities and entertainment, which the most seems probably is the sports ones.

On the other hand, coverage sport on television is very important for the society. Most of people like to see their teams playing whatever they play, but not everyone can go to the stadium to cheer for them. Sometimes it is expensive or the game is performed in somewhere else: in another state or country. Watching sports on television certainly encourage the young to play more sports. All kind of them. Even makes people know other sports that are not played in their country and the athletes can be an inspiration for them. Children most of time grow seeing their favorite players on television and want to be like them, to play as well as the players and there is no better inspiration than a live example.

To sum, i believe that coverage sport television do not discourage young from doing sports. On contrary, it also inspire them to play more, but watching television also has to be moderate.
