Sports Stars, Paid Millions

Sports stars these days
  get paid millions to play
    little boys and little girls games

  Yet jobs that only adults can do
    sports stars are wont to eschew

If only I had practised more, I could have been a contender, earning millions. It is a weird world out there.

The athletes have a track record, have been playing and training since there were 5 years old. We should support hardworking, dedicated individuals no matter what they do to day to day. Who wouldn’t want to work their dream job? We need more people willing to work hard versus our current society of welfare, food stamps, free cell phones, free WiFi and free medical care.

It's a good point you make, one I hadn't considered. Definitely carries weight. Thanks for a bit of a comeuppance on this one, Elena. Appreciated. :) gw
