Sports, Entertainment or Business?
Pardon me for the late update, but who the hell cares anyway. Let's get to the topic. We know football is the most famous sports in the world. And having the World Cup lingering just around the corner, the fever is just getting hotter and hotter everyday. However, there is one small thing that I have noticed over these past few weeks. Is football just a normal sport or is it becoming a source of entertainment or even a stepstone for some people's fame and glory?
For all of you football fans, you should know that Wayne Rooney is injured and expected/required to be cured by World Cup. I still remember when Rooney's ankle (I think) broke during the match between Manchester United and Chelsea weeks ago, the first thing the commentator mentioned was something like "hopefully he will recover and be ready to play by the World Cup". And then later on followed by the news and reports of his injury, all with one main goal; everyone wanted him to be ready by the World Cup. Is it just me or is it that people are giving more priority to fame and competition over a person's well-being or health? I rarely see people giving comments about Rooney that he will get well soon as a person rather than be ready just to play football for the club or country.
This doesn't happen to only Rooney, but other players as well. Even from other sports and games. It's almost like the managers and fans want their players to be healed just to play and contribute to success rather than they want them to heal just as a caring human being. It is almost like these players are robots or servants that when they break or malfunction, people just want them get repaired to continue their services. Don't you think so?
Well that's all for now, nothing much about this post, just that I've been thinking about this for quite a time and yeah Brazil gonna win the World Cup again! Any prediction guys? Chiow!
