i think now a day football is not same with football long ago... the main reason player play football is for money but not because they love the football game...... if the club have more money they can get the good player.... how about the club does not much money.... are its fair......

I think now a day football is more appreciated. Clubs willing to pay huge amount of money to get the best player. And I think they cannot be the best player if they dont love football. Of course they love money too. The club get rich because of their player, so why cant their player be rich too..

Today, football is played at a professional level all over the world, and millions of people regularly go to football stadia to follow their favourite team,[9] whilst billions more watch the game on television.[10] A very large number of people also play football at an amateur level. According to a survey conducted by FIFA and published in the spring of 2001, over 240 million people regularly play football in more than 200 countries in every part of the world.[11] Its simple rules and minimal equipment requirements have no doubt aided its spread and growth in popularity. In many parts of the world football evokes great passions and plays an important role in the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations; it is therefore often claimed to be the most popular sport in the world. ESPN has spread the claim that the Côte d'Ivoire national football team helped secure a truce to the nation's civil war in 2005. By contrast, however, football is widely considered to be the final proximate cause in the Football War in June 1969 between El Salvador and Honduras. The sport also exacerbated tensions at the beginning of the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, when a Red Star Belgrade-at-Dinamo Zagreb match devolved into rioting in March 1990.[12]

I think this applies to all professional sports now.Insert baseball or soccer or basketball or hockey freely in the place of the word "football" and the meaning of what you said would still be correct.
