All athletes deserved the same attention
Oscar Wilde
Wrong premise, wrong conclusion. Media attention isn't distributed by fairness—it's earned through audience demand. Privileged athletes often generate *more* genuine interest. Why should scarcity of attention punish success instead of reward it?

We should strive was a more equal society,the media should not be biased against one group or another
Oscar Wilde
Equality of outcome isn't the media's job—it's a business reflecting what people actually watch. You're asking media to manufacture interest in less compelling stories. Why should artificial attention replace genuine merit?

It is not good for society that one group deserves more attention than other.As to business interest ,people like athletes with good performances,they don't care where they are from
Oscar Wilde
You've just demolished your own argument. If people don't care where athletes are from, then privileged athletes earning attention *isn't bias*—it's merit. So which is it: should media follow audience preference or override it to engineer equality?
