SPORT and MONEY Relationship between sport and money has been existing since sport became one of human's challenges. In the beginning, leaders invest as much as possible money to prepare some game events. They had to prepare food, wine, sweets, they made up playground and other things that are related to games. It was ceremony. Players had been working hard, looking after on nutrition, drinking water before start of the game and wanted to show your power, straight, ability... Fans could really have an excitement and see real reaches of human body. Everything had been made for taking the honor. Today situation is more different. First of all, players don't play regular. They use supplements in order to avoid hard training and reach nonhuman power. They are payed for giving the best of yourself. In sport you don't have honor anymore. For win they lie on the grass, they influence on referee decision, want to get penalty even they know that is not penalty, they even lose match if it means easier way to the final stage. If someone pay for lose, they do it. The second one. Organizers make deal with betting (sports lottery :)), referees got a order who has to win, and that is reason why sometimes battle on the playing fields isn't real. Finally. every athlete lives from money that he/she has got during their carriers. So if they want make more money they have to take care on yourself, avoid injures and play as longer as possible. Before we have Mike Tyson who came into battle field and gave everything he could, he didn't care if he got hit. He want to be fast, attractive and the best (I talk about his career before prison, after they think about money more then box). Today box loss real fighters. Brothers Klitschko are great, but they aren't so attractive cause they take care to safe theirs head :). In tennis we had players who played that sport, today they wipe their face after each point. It is a little boring. Basketball, each contact is foul (expect NBA), Football players take care to look good :), they fall down every time, they simulate too much, they are scared of injuries. Real battle doesn't exist anymore. and so on... So conclusion is that mean different in sport before and now is MONEY. This is my opinion so if you have yours just write it down, maybe I'm too critical :) See you next time
