Answer 2

Answer:

Popularity of modern sports helps advance society by giving educational opportunities through sports scholarships.

Explanation:

Many colleges will use a student for the student's talents in sports and put him or her in the college's team in exchange of offering that student a complete scholarship. Usually, those scholarships are only maintained if the student also keeps high grades throughout the years.
