     The word "sport" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting
wild animals and birds.
     About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of
the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other
sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people
are called "professional sportsmen". They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the
best one can earn a lot of money.
     For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than $3000 a year. The stars earn a lot
more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than $50000 in a year. Of course, only a
few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals like golf, tennis
and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: The stars can earn
more money from advertising than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say
"Buy our things". It says "Buy the same shirt and shoes as..." Famous sportsmen can even advertise things
like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their name or a photograph of them and they are
paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.
