The question always asked

Thomas Muller's nose bleeding after having collided with John Boye
Hello again! Now you might be wondering about the title to this blog post, well here it is: Are soccer players paid too much? In my opinion, I don't think so. Many people think it is very stupid that people running around kicking a ball make over 10 million dollars a year but I personally think it's not. They are soccer players and they put their lives and the state of their bodies on the line. They could break a leg or have a concussion. For example like the famous German soccer player Thomas Muller, who was headbutted by Pepe, a Portuguese soccer player. Thomas Muller ' head was bleeding in the match versus Ghana in the FIFA World Cup when he collided with John Boye, a player from that team. Soccer players suffer from many injuries so it's not that bad to pay them a little extra. Also soccer players are loved from all over the word and they bring us joy and entertainment. Go ask 10 people if they watch/play soccer or have a favorite player and 7 out 10 will answer to one of those questions, maybe even all three. Kids and adults around the globe love buying jerseys,flags, hats and many other kinds of merchandise because of their love for soccer, so it's normal if soccer players make a lot of money. To become a professional soccer player, it takes skills. These people have a passion for soccer, they worked so hard to get where they are right now. They sweated tears and blood and a lot of people recognize that and want to become just like them. Soccer players give dreams to all the people that are sitting alone in their room and that didn't find their talent yet or don't know what to do with their life. Soccer players also donate a lot of their money to charity like Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as I mentioned in my other blog. So in the end, I don't think soccer players are payed to much, they are paid as much as they deserve.
