As I have read the article, this one shocked me since I didn’t know
that
prostitution is legalized in Germany. It is intriguing that they
are even using the
World Cup Game fans to buy
sex as a form of
entertainment. I can’t believe that the German
government can think of
such a lame excuse. They say that most male fans of the world cup would
buy sex as a form of
entertainment right? In the first place, those
fans traveled from all over the world to watch the World Cup games. To
watch the games is what brought them there, not for sex. Watching the
game alone is entertainment for they support and cheer for the team
they want to win.
I think that the German government is covering up for their
own interest (money). They legalized prostitution and has been using
World Cup season because more tourist will be going in their country
and they try to sell sex for male tourist’s past time. Because they
know that to men, this is nothing new: Sex sells. Everywhere you go
there is prostitution. The only difference is in Germany, prostitution
is legalized. And this is what Germany is trying to promote. Taking
more advantage because it is World Cup season = more tourist = more
buyers of sex = more money for the government. What they don’t realize
is that they are degrading the rights of women. They see women as toys,
as a form of entertainment, and slaves. This is why every year there
has been an increasing number of violence to women.
Sports tourism, in definition involves people traveling to
participate or to observe sports. These activities may include people
competing in an international event, such as the Olympics, or simply
sitting amongst the audience watching the World Cup match. From the
definition itself, it is really not connected with sex tourism. As I
have said earlier wherever you go, prostitution is there. With what
Germany is trying to promote, it looks like that they are trying to
promote sports tourism but the truth is, they are just using the World
Cup games as a mask for their own interest. Or they serve it as a
double purpose event because there are more male fans that will be
going then might as well sell them another entertainment after watching
the games.
First, the German government must focus on what they are
trying to promote. According to other sources, Germany has displayed
its national pride by hosting the World Cup games because it is
broadcasted all over the world. They displayed national pride and unity
during the semi- finals against Italy by hanging their national flags
through their windows. This is what the whole world knows: Germany’s
pride of being a brave country that will do whatever it takes to
support their nation in big tournaments like this one. But if Germany
will be promoting prostitution together with the World Cup games, it
will only degrade their country. Instead of promoting discipline
together with the athletes, they’re promoting danger and violence to
women. This will only cost Germany’s name. Sooner or later if this is
not given action, many fans would be disappointed on how immoral the
German government is. Just imagine, what would you feel if you see the
most disciplined and talented athletes there at the World Cup games
promote sex trafficking and prostitution? Wouldn’t it be disappointing
and weird? Isn’t it just like hearing they’re trying to sell their
mother or sisters whom are women as well right? Continuing these
gimmicks will only put a bad name to the World Cup games. An immediate
action must be pushed not only for the games name’s sake but especially
to avoid the increasing violence being made to women worldwide.
