Does anyone else feel Ronaldo's $80 million transfer deal is outrageous, excessive and utterly obscene?

As with many deals for professional athletes these days, it sounds crazy. But the real question is how much money will the receiving team gain by having Ronaldo McDonaldo on their team. I am a typical American who thinks football involves an irregularly shaped ball, but those players are the same.My favorite team is the Colts and they payed an obscene amount of money for Peyton Manning.

But he brought Indianapolis their first superbowl ring and many dollars have been made from the improved popularity of that team. Same in this case I suppose. Though the issue I worry about is when a little thing like a busted knee from slipping on a banana peel can cost so much money for an entire city, it is a little scary.

(and by the way, I remember not so long ago when 80 million pounds was closer to $160 million. Ah those were the days.. for the British anyway).

Yes, but it's not 80 million dollars, but 80 million POUNDS, well over 100 million dollars.

People buy things they don't necessarily need or want, sometimes in obscene quantities because they think they're getting a deal...without taking into account the fact that this just encourages the making of unnecessary consumer products that are cheap, won't last, and will eventually get dumped. Read this "article" and the accompanying slideshow captions and try not to picture this being published in a high school newspaper. There is no way that this was written by someone old enough to legally drink -- or even vote.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
