Is Sports More Important Than Music?

Is Sports More Important Than Music?

I truly believe that sports is really important. Sports is pretty much the same as doing exercise so everyone is pretty much doing sports it’s mostly a everyday thing. There is all sorts of sports around the world. Sports are like Rugby, Touch, Netball, soccer, and there is heaps of other sports.

Firstly, why sports is important is that it’s good to keep your body fit and healthy. Even can make kids happy and excited. All we need is a compulsory P.E system. At a young age kids should be doing lots of exercise so when they are older you will be fit and strong and you won’t have to watch your weight limit which you will have to do if you eat too much junk food and don’t do enough exercise. This is simply because sport is so much better to help kids stay healthy and it is the best way to exercise.

Secondly, Would you rather be outside playing a game of sport with your friends or being stuck inside with a person you don’t even know and blasting an instrument at the loudest sound you can go? 95% of kids believe that sports should be compulsory in all schools. If you think that music is better than sport well you're wrong.

Lastly, sports, especially team sports, involves lots of teamwork but music is showing just your individual talents. In team sports like soccer, rugby, basketball, etc, you have to collaborate together and show teamwork if you want to win. This lets you communicate better with your friends and it requires you to be flexible and creative. Where as when you are a playing an instrument you can’t rely on anyone and it has to require your individual brilliance.

In summary, I think that sports is more important than music because it is part of education, health and many more.
