Defying The Limits

The Development Of Football (sky diving)

By Lucy Evans

 Football has undoubtedly transformed over the years from the expertise that has been implemented, to the sheer amount of investments that has now been involved. The primary query on everyones lips is why are they rewarded so much for kicking and passing a ball? Match that up against working class people who put in at minimum 8 hours a day, with a greater IQ, who will change or modify aspects of the world to make it greater. Yet on average working class people receive 200 per week as opposed to 20,000 a week.

Football is an interesting and addictive spot and at times the players can be a real delight to observe or experience in the flesh. Watching the likes of Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho and Christiano Ronaldo at their greatest is inspirational and captivating, putting aside what team they play for they have the ability and expertise to astound and amaze. Nonetheless is it really worth 23 million a year? Logically, the answer to that is no.

Jealousy certainly plays a part in all this, and why? because lets take a vote on who wouldnt want to be paid 20,000 a week for running up and down a pitch for 90 minutes kicking a ball?

However, you could say that footballers do something for the club, and they are the reason the club competes and performs to a self-assured level. Directors, chairmen and shareholders are probably ten times worse but arent under attack as much as the players, as they steer out of the limelight. Its worth assessing the total they take home in wages, dividends and bonuses, then comparing it with what they truly do for the club to deserve so much. If only they were brought more into consideration as much as football players the interest and focal point would swiftly turn.

An idea to combat this problem is to go back to the nitty-gritty of football and let the fans settle on what happens. After all its the fans that make the sport what it is, without them the money and popularity would be at rock bottom. So by eradicating all the pointless measurements such as player agents and keeping things simple, the game and all included would take great pleasure from it. The trouble is this will never take place now because the game has advanced so far in terms of finances and there are so many people and businesses making too much money from the game to just give it all up.

Sadly the game can only get worse but at some point the bubble has got to burst. Each year the sport of football sways closer and closer to becoming a business rather than a sport, if it hasnt already.
