Modern day slavery

OK, so I am way into football (not throwball... get it right, the real thing, where you actually use your feet), obviously. And I truly think the game is absolutely beautiful to watch and the players are often much more sporting then their showboating, dancing after a good play, point celebrating American counterparts. But here is a little beef I got with a select few footballers who head may have just gotten slightly too big.
A certain Cristiano Ronaldo of a very respectable Manchester United Football club has basically come out and said that his club(Manchester United) is treating him like a modern day slave because they were trying to hold on to him, rather than let him be transferred to a Spanish Club (Real Madrid... Castillian giants in Spain). And from hearing that, you may think, well, shucks, the kid wants to play elsewhere. He is no longer happy at the club and may want a change of scenery, or maybe he wants to be closer to his home country, Portugal. You may here this and feel bad for this football phenom in his early twenties with his great years ahead of him.
But let me remind you of this people. This kid is on an over 120,000 pounds a week salary and is getting bonus income from his resume of corporate sponsor and marketing rights. The kid is the star of one of the most recognizable clubs in all of football and has won multiple trophies, and titles with his manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Let's not go in to the life off the pitch where he shaggs all the finest birds, in fact, steals the girlfirends of other well known footballers (see Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid, who is speculated to be a part of the transfer along with an estimated 60+million pounds... rediculous, yet interesting). This kid lives in the lap of London luxury and probably doesn't have to worry about ever not having the money for the next meal. Meanwhile, you have millions of people across the world starving and/or working for next to nothing just to try and survive to their next meager check. How fair is it for this sports star to be claiming he is a modern slave?
Think about this the next time you see Cristiano Ronaldo don whatever jersey he may put on.
When he scores a goal or sends in a perfectly executed cross that results in a goal and he recieves some rediculous bonus for a job he should be doing anyways as a paid professional footballer. I wish he would look at others at his level and greater, and take a lesson in their modesty or just lack of flaunting their incredible wealth, or maybe just stop bitching...
cause if I were in his boots, I would call my self a lot of things, but slave is not one of them.
Or maybe, Cristiano Ronaldo may think about trading in his slave position for the one I find my self in, a student. Maybe he would like to be thousands of dollars in debt to school loans and be banking on a piece of paper from a University that says you can go make money now.
my two pence on the C. Ronaldo transfer issue.
