I think you're being vague when you try to say that commercialisation of sports have resulted in the increase in negative influence to the society. What kind of negative influence are you talking about here, and how will it bring disrepute to the sport? Your example do not back up/support your point at all. I fail to see how gambling has resulted in a deterioration of soccer's reputation, keeping in mind that gambling has been always prevalent in any society, any time, any where.

Your point about using competitions for gambling purposes, rather than enjoying the sport itself - although presumptuous, if one was to assumed that it ~makes sense~, it still does not support your point about "increase in other negative influence to the society".

Your attempts at using a rhetorical question does not work because -

"IF this happens, when people talk about soccer, would it be about which team they support? Or would it just be how much they have bet on the team to win?"

You're working with assumptions here to draw your conclusion of commercialisation of sports being just for the sake of earning money rather than benefitting the sport itself; similarly I can twist your argument and assuming on the premise that people DO talk about which team they support, I can conclude with : "Despite the commercialisation of sport and how one might argue it is just for the sake of earning money, one does truly enjoy the game and support its players. Furthermore, this commercialisation of sports brings in revenue for the country's economy and thus we can see that it is more beneficial than detrimental, making it good."

What is human rights, in your point of view? It's not a matter of whether it is beneficial or not, but rather if it is good or bad (which, in any case, is vague). Sports before commercialisation has always been competitive, and one CANNOT argue that it is due to the commercialisation of sports that has led to people being "bought" when all along it has always been a case of the stronger party triumphing over the weak. If you are good enough, you will be spotted.

To one-sidedly and blatantly push the blame on commercialisation of sports for not having the "equal chance to play, and those who may be keen yet not very talented will be deprive of the experience" is completely baseless.

By the way, I think you should define it as competitive sport, because if you're playing like Chapteh amongst your neighbours or by yourself then your later part of the argument will be rendered invalid, since, well, nobody's keen on "buying" and training a non-competitive sport player, is it?

Commercialisation of sports is good, simply because it rakes in revenue, boosts each country's economy, allows information about it (sport) be disseminated faster and thus allowing more people to be interested in it etc, etc, etc.
