The career of the sports personalities depends upon the opinion of the public about them, which is highly influenced by their image being portrayed by the media. A good sportsperson inspires people, and his sports gains funds and sponsorships from different organizations. This also encourages people to involve themselves or their children in that sport. The media displays information about the sports personalities and the negative side of the same is the display of their private lives, which may hamper their career, if not portrayed correctly, or broadcasted to much. This is all about money and some time, rich sportspersons have contacts in media, which display a very good image of their and help them in getting people affection and sponsors at the same time.
