The celebrity of athletes

Athletes, most people love watching them. Baseball, football, basketball, we love them all. Competition makes for good entertainment. I'm an athlete and I know I love the competition and for me playing is all I need. I don't need the big bucks to keep playing, though that would be nice. The big time athletes of today though seem like they are no longing happy with making a couple million. They want more. So they are doing all kinds of crazy stuff to get more money. We have all seen the Gatorade commercials with some kind of athlete on them,and that makes sense. Athletes drink Gatorade. What doesn't make sense is when athletes show up on a McDonald's commercial saying that they eat Mickey D's before every game. False. They would throw up if they did that. So why are they essentially lying to consumers? Because they just aren't rich enough. If they love the game they play then they should be happy with simply playing it. The ginormous check they get should be enough. Heck I'd be more than happy with that. The thought of more money must be very addictive I suppose. Oh well, they can do what they want as long as they continue to play their game and not mess up too badly..unless they play for the Yankee's or Steelers. Then they can mess up all day long. 

 

The top one makes no sense to me, pro athletes do not eat that junk...They do however drink Gatorade. 

Youtube killed the video star

I am no different from any other teenager when it comes to music. I enjoy listening to music when I'm in the car, when I'm working out or when I'm cleaning. Music is a big part of many peoples lives. I have found the artists I like from listening to the radio. I listen to XM radio channel 59 The Highway or channel 37 Octane. I think being on the radio is a great way for them to market themselves and to get their music heard. I know some artists do commercials or other things like that but how many people actually watch or listen to commercials. Also I think Pandora is a great way for artists to be heard. Pandora is free, I can listen to it anywhere I go and I enjoy that there is a variety of music to listen to. Then again, I don't think artists get paid very much to have their music played on Pandora. That being said, most artists are far from broke, maybe they should stop being greedy, especially if they want their music to be heard. If they are not happy with their income then why not do the commercials for Proactive or Cover Girl. As long as the artists continue to make their music I don't really care how they make their extra money or what not. If that's what they want to do then they have every right to do it. Who am I to complain as long as they are making the music I like.
