They certainly don't do it for the money.

Well, why pay them so much then?
I am sure top sport stars don't have money in mind when they start out, but it certainly seems to be having an influence on them now.
The Football World Cup is a good example.
You see, players don't get paid, as such, for representing their country. At least not in the same way their clubs pay them. And look at what happens. The french team in complete melt-down, the english players affronted that the fans are treating them with other than adulation when they perform like they just don't care.
One english player even turned down a place in the squad, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family.
I think maybe what he meant to say was, "What's in it for me?"
