Wayne Rooney? Tom Brady? Who the FUCK are they?

Very nice, Rooney. Very nice, Brady.

You both make a fucking fortune. But outside of the UK, outside of the USA...nobody gives a damn about you idiots.

That's the funny thing about "team" sports. You might be the star of your "team," but you're still a nobody. You're the leader of a perplexing bunch of assholes in uniforms, performing strange rituals that involve all kinds of idiotic rules.

"Football" is Rooney's game. Only in America it's called soccer. In America only Brady plays "Football" and nobody know who Rooney is.

And yet, as ephemeral as "team" sports are...there's always a different team winning every year, it seems...there are enough drunken hooligans watching that a "star" player can make a fortune.

There are also so many sex-starved morons in the world...and fake, vain bitches...that a "super model" can make a fortune, too.

America has the wonderful combo of Tom Brady ($31 million a year) married to Gisele Bundchen ($47 million).

What do these maniacs do with their money? Build huge mansions. Enjoy wretched excess. Find ways to make more.

If they're going to be philanthropists, it's on somebody else's dime. As in: "Brady endorses this charity..." Or "Go to this fundraiser dinner and get a chance to meet and greet Bundchen, at $5,000 a seat."

I suppose what keeps us ordinary people going...is to think that we could make a fortune by doing next to nothing. It looks pretty easy...be surrounded by an entire TEAM making you look good and being told to protect you and always give you the ball...or simply sit around while a fleet of people paint you and dress you.

The irony is not just that ordinary, USEFUL people like doctors and teachers make nothing in comparison, but that people who don't have a TEAM on the field with them...boxers, golfers, tennis players...generally don't make anywhere near what some jerk who is part of a TEAM makes. You can haul down an incredibly good salary just by being on the same TEAM as Rooney or Brady. A few years, and you don't have to ever work again. Which helps if Rooney or Brady steps on your foot and breaks it.
