sports tickets
I really don't understand the need for people in this country to spend so much money on entertainment. It seems quite disgraceful to me that the people in this country that make the biggest salaries are those who provide us with a good laugh. Teachers, firefighters, police officers, and even EMS workers have to worry about how to feed their families, but if you are an actor or comedian or even a sports star, no worries you will make enough to take care of your family forever and then some.
The cost of event tickets cost an arm and a leg, and people even in the slowing economy will pay through the nose for sports tickets, concert tickets, NFL tickets, and tickets to shows and events. I just don't get it, don't these people shelling out all this money on tickets get the fact that there are people who won't eat today in this world? Where is there social consciousness and awareness? And what about the people who are making the big money for these "performances", why don't they see anything wrong with living in homes the size of hotels and spending money like it was water. Yeah, I know there are a few big stars that do a lot to help others, but I think that they are few and far between. Most of them in my opinion hoard their money instead of using it for the greater good of the world. Very few, seem to realize that their help is needed both here in the US and globally. I really hate when I see stars give $5,000.00 or even $20,000.00 to an organization acting as if they are doing this most wonderful service for everyone. You and I we believe it thinking wow that is a lot of money, however, it would be the equivalent of us donating a $5.00 bill or even a $20.00 bill, no one would stand up and cheer at that kind of donation.
I just think that as part of this world we all have a responsibility to contribute what we can and give back for the greater good for all humanity. I would really like people to promote giving less money to movie stars and giving more money to the people in this world who truly need it. That would be, in my opinion the perfect kind of entertainment.
