I'm making this post as a light Atalanta fan after learning a few days ago that Mateo Retegui has decided to leave for Saudi Arabia to get more money.
I don't want to generalise but I think that money, seen as an end, as a good, is the ruin
Money is useful, let's be clear, it is useful for everyone but to think that it is the goal to be pursued by overlooking people or honor and loyalty is something squalid
What do you think about football?
I think this applies to any sport nowadays, especially for superstar players, they’re all after the biggest contracts while they’re still in their prime, and honestly, who can blame them? Their careers aren’t forever, so it makes sense to secure their future while they’re still healthy and in demand. The downside is, it’s the fans who take the hit. We get attached to these players, support them, and then suddenly they leave for another team. But that’s just how it goes. One star leaves, another one comes in. It’s the reality of professional sports we just have to accept.
