What is a consequence of less media coverage?

• A. Less media coverage means less sportsmanship and less financial backing.
• B. Less media coverage reduces participation.
• C. Financial backing grows with less media coverage.
• D. Sportsmanship unaffected by media coverage.

Answer: (A)

Media coverage affects how sport is funded and how players are encouraged to behave. When coverage is reduced, sponsors see less exposure and are less inclined to invest, so financial backing tends to decrease. At the same time, media also highlights good sportsmanship and publicizes penalties for poor conduct; with less coverage, these reminders fade and fair-play standards are less reinforced. That combination makes the consequence of reduced media coverage clearly the decline in both sportsmanship and financial backing. The other ideas aren’t as consistent: participation isn’t guaranteed to fall just from less coverage, and it wouldn’t lead to more financial backing or unchanged sportsmanship.
