edit: Reincar is right about the appearance fees too. If you are good to great, you can make a great career for yourself financially.

thats because its very hard for you to understand. Its not your fault, blame your teachers.

my teachers didn't teach about any sport, i picked up what i was interested in. i played soccer when i was a kid, the whole time i felt like it was a 3 legged race.

im not knockin anyone who watches it, the whole concept of it is lame to me though.
