Barça agreed to pay 54 million Euros to Neymar’s contract
holders. He is one of the best players according to many critics; some even say
that he is so good that it’s not a sensible idea to him to join the Spanish
team as "two roosters in a pen" won’t work (referring to Messi)
Moving on, the millionaire contract has
reopened the debate on whether it is ethical to pay such extraordinary quantities
for a single person. Despite he is an awesome player, many people agree that it’s
totally unnecessary and it doesn’t worth it. They aren’t talking specifically
about Neymar’s contract but in general.
During the last 10 years, the main teams as
FC Barcelona or Real Madrid have spent an awful quantity of money for their
actual stars. Real Madrid’s case it’s very simple to see; Cristiano Ronaldo “just”
cost 96 million Euros, becoming the most expensive player ever.
Also, both teams have enormous debts; which
enlarge each year, that go over 500 million Euros.
Actually, many people are complaining about
the moral, or better the lack of moral, of these decisions. Whilst the crisis
is getting worse, millions of people are unemployed, there are evictions etc,
football teams all around the world; not just Spanish ones, seem to have no
problem when spending money and don’t seem to care whether this money could
have a better use as helping people.
Do you think there should be restrictions
for football teams?
What do you think about these the morality
of these decisions?
Guillermo, it is true, and there is no discusion about that soccer teams such as Futbol Club Barcelona or Real Madrid spend too much money in players or salaries and that it could be "immoral" because of the crisis.
ReplyDeleteBut, what I am wondering right know is if it is actually immoral. We,the soccer fans, are the ones who make that possible, how many people do you think that saw the last saturday's champions league final? I bet that thousands of people. What I am trying to say is that we are the ones who follow them or whatch their games for exemple, and, if it were not for us, the fans, soccer teams would not have that much money to invest.
