Some Soccer Players Get Paid Way Too Much
I was reading Mirror Football, a British football (soccer) newspaper, and found that Manchester City (yes the one with the Billionaire owner) have signed ANOTHER forward. In the past 3 years, they've signed Robinho, Santa Cruz, Tevez, Adebayor and Dzeko. But that's not what's making me upset. Apparently Argentinean super star Sergio "Kun" Aguero will be making 200,000 pounds a week. Zero bull shit here. "£200,000-per-week"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check it out for yourself here. That guy will make more in a week than most Americans will in 4-8 years. To place that in perspective, 200,000 pounds is approximately $327,417 USD. After British taxes (which is 50% because of universal healthcare and other great programs that free by the government), he will still be making $163,708 USD a week. Let me make this as clear as I can. A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I have to admit, this picture of Aguero after scoring a goal is pretty awesome)
