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.
