Just read on Towleroad that David Beckham has decided to leave the soccer team he's playing for now, Real Madrid, and join the L.A. Galaxy in the US.I don't follow soccer at all, or any sport for that matter, but this tidbit made my jaw drop (well, his picture too...):
The five-year deal is reportedly worth £128m (that's $248 million here across the pond).How can anyone running after a ball be worth that much? Where's the outrage?
I wonder how much doctors and educators who decide to go work in Africa to help those poor people make. Or the doctors that have to work 20-hour-days, 3 times a week. Or teachers in inner city schools who have to deal with obnoxious teenagers everyday.
And forget that, I mean, that's half a BILLION dollars for this guy. How many people could be saved from starvation or given a better future, or an education, or health insurance for that kind of money?
Where are humanity's priorities?
