POWER

Many people out there in the world have power, but how they keep it is what I'm interested in. In ancient civilizations, kings would go and attack towns to scare the people into obeying him thus giving him complete control and power. Other methods of getting and staying in power is that they fight wars. Some jealous people might want to kill the king because they want the power and the authority to be in there hands. Although wars were high, the kings would usually win in battle to keep control.

"Oh look their goes Tony Romo, hey isn't he that very well known Dallas Cowboys quarterback." That's what people would say but I bet you didn't know that he is one of the most payed players in the NFL. Today all over the world there are athletes that get payed thousands of dollars a game. Is it fair to the other players you ask probably not, but their are reasons for that matter.

Many players out there in the world have very well known names that causes a multiple amount of teams to chase after him/her. That means that allot of teams come rolling in with big wads of cash trying to sign the designated player of their dreams. One reason for this, is that they have a number of years in the league thus having allot of experience making teams go crazy for his/her services. Every team all want the same thing, which is to win. So they're not going to spend money on players that are not well known or don't have allot of talent. They're going to spend big bucks on talented and experienced players. An example that has recently happened is the movement of Christiano Ronaldo a Portuguese soccer player that moved from Manchester United an England soccer club to Real Madrid a team that plays in Spain. He is only 23 years old and has already been named the best in the world twice. His transfer was $96,000,000 and he gets $143,000 for every game. Now that's a allot of money.

The main reason I think that they get paid so much is because they're beasts out there on the field and because they're talented young players. An example of why I chose that being talented is important is because i saw a bears game once and a rookie named Johnny Knox ran back a touchdown for 105 yards. It was his first game in the NFL and he has been unstoppable ever since. Another reason is that teams want good guys out there beating the living daylights out of their opponent. Which if you ask me is very important. If you are talented and stay on the same team, over a period of time their salery will raise because of there experience.

Now that we have learned about this topic, we can see how much athletes actually get paid. We will be able to see the future salary of Romo, Farve, and many of the other players out there increase.
