Recently, renowned football player @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@ made headlines for his massive five-hundred and forty-four million @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ contract. This has caused and uprising among the poor people of @@NAME@@, who have called for a reduction in the salary of athletes.
1. League commissioner @@RANDOMNAME@@ storms up to your office, @@HIS@@ face red with fury. “How dare these people challenge our leagues payment of top players! This is an absolute outrage!” @@HE@@ yells as @@HE@@ pushes papers of your desk, “Privately owned sports leagues, like mine, should be allowed to pay our players whatever we want and that’s that! If these people complaining wanted to make 400 million @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ they should’ve put in the work that our fine athletes have all their lives!” With that @@HE@@ storms out of your office, scaring your young secretary coming in to deliver your coffee.
Outcome: athletes in @@NAME@@ often own whole neighbourhoods of mansions
2. Just then @@RANDOMNAME@@, a volunteer at a local soup kitchen, enters your office and sits in the chair across from you. “@@LEADER@@ how can we pay these athletes such great sums of money when the poor of @@NAME@@ make so little money?” @@HE@@ says, “ I can understand a small salary increase, but five-hundred and forty-four million @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ is too much for any person to make. You should force these leagues to pay their athletes the same as any other loyal @@DENONYM@@!”
Outcome: famous athletes are often seen at local soup kitchens
3. Your adviser leans across your desk and whispers in your ear, “Ya’ know, these athletes are making more money than even you @@LEADER@@. I suggest you give yourself a raise. Oh, and maybe a raise for all your hardworking government officials?”
Outcome: it is said that the capital building of @@NAME@@ is made of gold
4. 4. Next you receive a call from the famous CEO and founder of world rebound company, Shamazon. “@@LEADER@@,” he says, “I’ve heard there’s been quite a stir over the crazy contracts athletes are making in this country. While I agree with the common folk of @@NAME@@ that the salary of athletes should be reduced. I want to make sure that this won’t eventually extend to the reduction in the salary of businessmen such as myself. You know, the careers of businessmen last a lifetime, while athletes peak after just a decade or so. Bedsides, what’s more important? The businesses building the economy, or some guys kicking a ball around a field?”
Outcome: the big companies of @@NAME@@ have a strong hold over the government
