Looks over Talent.

It is every athletes dream to make the cover a magazine. Magazines like Sports Illustrated,Soccer America, and Rize are some of the ones athletes hope to land a cover on or maybe even a small segment. It is the ultimate to see yourself on the cover and have someone read about you and look at your picture. Before it was the athletes who dominated their sport and accomplish great things the ones who made these magazines covers. Now because everything is about making money and we are in love with materialistic things is the athletes who look good with their shirts off or in a bikini who make the front of every magazine.
Our society has become very accepting with sexuality, and it is not a big deal to have a half naked,attractive person in front of a magazine. Models dedicate their time to having the perfect body and maintain a beautiful face, it is their job to be feature in magazines. The job of an athlete is to work hard at practice so they can perform at a high level for every match. In a game,match, or race looks do not matter and will not help you win. It is an athletes willing to win,heart, and determination that gets them to the top. I am tired of seeing athletes who have not accomplish, or won any big competitions getting praised by the media. The media overrates athletes with good looks. Every one in the industry wants those athletes who look on camera to advertise there products and make an appearance in there magazines. It is not the athletes who win games, or the one who carries a team on his back and takes them to the championship the ones who get all the love and attention
For example David Beckham, he is not a bad soccer player but it is definitely not the best player on the English National Team but he is the one that every reporter wants to interview and hes the one that every female wants a picture with. Beckham has used this to his advantage and it is the reason why hes the most recognized soccer player in the world. Underwear adds for Calvin Klein, movies, and being married to a Spice Girl also have helped him earn all this recognition. He has never one a world cup but still people all over the world praise him and put him on a pedestal. He has done alot for the sport and respect his life style but at the same time he has corrupted the beautiful game of soccer.
