Nowadays sports have become one of the most important
trending topics of our society. We’re living in a world where the Barça winning
the Champions is more important than the discovery of a new galaxy or the cure
of an illness. I think that this
ridiculous trend of giving so much importance to sports is the reason why some
sportsmen earn such a huge amount of money.
In this world where we live, sadly, money is the
reason of everything. So, if sport clubs or sport federations own those
fortunes it’s because they have a massive support from their fans. If there
weren’t so many fans of the sports clubs or teams, they surely wouldn’t possess
those quantities of money. However, I don’t think that it’s unethical the
fortune that some of them earn, because the people have provided them with this
money. If our society had focused more on important things to improve our
knowledge (or to make a better world) like science, charity or literature,
probably we would have become a better civilisation.
Also I find it ridiculous when someone complains about
the money that sportsmen earn compared to a doctor, for example, but then this
person is an absolute fan of a football team, and spends hundreds of euros
going to the matches or buying merchandise instead of giving some money to the
AIDS foundation, for instance.
In conclusion, I don’t think that it’s fair that some
sportsmen earn so much money, but it’s the will of our society, all this money
comes from supporters. While our society targets don’t change, sports will keep
moving millions of Euros.
