World Cup 2014

[empirefantasy]

I never understood the football-frenzy and all these sports championships, which bring more costs than profits.
Where are we living? In ancient Rome? People are starving so we give them gladiators on the arena?

nope
they bring much more profits than costs. havent you noticed that player wages has been increased year by year? some years ago the max wage was 9million euro ibrahimovic and kaka but now that wage is more common, sice there are wages like 13-15 million. and also players prices every year more expensive, that means football is becoming a money machine and of course loosing it's beauty.

and for World cups there are a lot of profits from tourism not only tickets.
