In summer 2008 the next Olympic Games start. Some people think we should stop the Olympic Games. In this text I will search pro- and contra-arguments for this.
There are many reasons to stop the Olympic Games. A few weeks ago the torch relay began. All over the world people demonstrated against the Olympic Games and especially against China, but incidents didn’t just take place befor Beijing 2008. In the past a lot of things, which really shouldn’t take place, happend. Per example in 1972 in Munich, where 11 died because the pro-Palestinian group „Black September“ took members of the Isreali team hostage. Or in 1996 in Atlanta where a bomb killed 2 people while the Olympic Games. This shows that the Olympic Games were abused as platform for terrorist attacks. One other argument against the Olympic Games is the fact that more and more athletes takes doping to improve their performance.
At the Olympic Games the athletes can show their performance. All over the world the Olympic Games are streamed into people’s living room. So why don’t give the best? At the Olympic Games a lot of sportlers can sit together and have fun – not important where their from. But these are the only arguments I find against stopping the Games.
In my opinion the Olympic Games should be stopped. The sports has become minor matter. Incidents and doping hit the headlines. And that’s not the idea of the Olympic Games.
