Needless to say, that sport and art are both indispensable parts of public affairs, and each one of them has special and also significant effects on social life. Even though each nation gives different priorities to the art or sport, the governmental fund should be allocated equally to support the athletics and artists but based on the evidence and fact from their society. There are some significant reasons in defense of this opinion which I explore in the following paragraphs.
Before any arguments, it should be mention that art and sport have their audiences and fans. Some people enjoy spending time in the art gallery or paint exhibition, but others may be interested in watching a soccer match or bet on hours riding. Before distributing the budget, the policymakers must consider target group interests such as how much their population consumes public goods in sport or art. If they only priority one public sector, the subsequence will be discontent in the part of society.
The second reason is that the achievements and the successes in both art and sport bring joy, pride. As much as winning Olympics’ competition make the sports’ fan happy, a prestigious award in film festival bring joy to artist and their lovers. It may be more obvious about sports team victory like dancing in the street after winning the football league cup, but it couldn’t be forgat that all Iranian stay awake the night that Asghar Farhadi won an Oskar. So, it can be said supporting art and sport contribute equally to national happiness and unity which have valuable political consequences. So, it’s a rationale that government spends public resources both without any discrimination but regarding national talents, history, and the possibility of successes at the International Level.
Last but not least, the third reason is the sport and art have the same share in creating wealth if they get the same attention from the government or private sector. So, the government should finance the part that doesn’t receive enough funds from non-governmental companies.
Taking all the aforementioned reasons into the account, it could be concluded that government and politicians should allocate the money to art or sport at the same level. However, they must deliberate their society’s facts and evidence.

Needless to say, sport and the arts are both indispensable parts of public affairs, and each has particular and also significant impacts on social life.

Before any argument, it should be mentioned that arts and sports have their audiences and fans. Some people enjoy spending time in an art gallery or a painting exhibition, but others may be interested in watching a football match or betting on hourly rides. Before allocating the budget, policy makers need to consider the interests of the target groups, e.g. how much their population consumes public goods in sports or the arts. If they prioritise only one public sector, there will be dissatisfaction in one part of society as a result.
The second reason is that achievements and successes in both the arts and sports bring joy and pride. Just as a victory at the Olympics makes sports fans happy, a prestigious award at a film festival brings joy to artists and their lovers. It may be more obvious when a sports team wins, like dancing in the street after winning the football trophy, but it cannot be forgotten that all Iranians stayed awake the night Asghar Farhadi won an Oscar. So it can be said that supporting arts and sports equally contribute to national happiness and unity, which has valuable political consequences. So it is a justification for the government to spend public funds on both, without any discrimination, but in terms of national talent, history and the possibility of success at the international level.
Last but not least, the third reason is that sports and arts have an equal share in wealth creation if they receive equal attention from the government or the private sector. So, the government should fund the part that does not get enough funding from non-government companies.
Considering all the above reasons, one could conclude that government and politicians should provide the money for arts or sports in equal amount. However, they have to weigh the facts and evidence of their society.
