There’s far too much publicity for certain types of sport,
With some of them receiving more attention than they ought.
Their exploits feature constantly in papers and TV,
With matches broadcast everywhere for all the world to see.
Their players earn tremendous sums, enjoy a life of fame,
And know that there’ll be millions watching every single
game.
An alien might think they were the most important thing
Within this world, as everywhere their names and praises
ring
In endless column inches, on TV and internet,
As they receive more coverage than big events now get.
Other sports are treated as if they did not exist,
With many women’s sports appearing high up on the list.
Their players are not major stars, and usually they’re
ignored,
With nothing in the sporting press of all the goals they’ve
scored.
They don’t earn vast amounts of cash, and many players work
As cash received for playing’s often seen as just a perk.
Perhaps it’s time for certain sports to fade off every
screen,
And lose their current status on the international scene,
For sports are unimportant when it comes to world affairs,
And all the vast attention showered on them should not be
theirs.
