the comments are somewhat interesting but one of them is of note.

"Anything you can get other people to pay you to do works for me. However you need lots of people doing 'real' work to support pop and sport stars."

At the moment with competitive gaming those people doing all the production and organisation get very little credit or financial rewards for doing what they do. Compared to the players who if I'm honest have the easiest role to play in the grand scheme of things.

Very nice read.

Pop up at the event, sit on the chair, use mouse and keyboard for 15 minutes, win and take the money. If you're narrow-minded then yes, they have the easiest role. However things are rarely that simple.

Do the production and organization people get too little credit? Maybe, but how would you give them more credit.. Too little financial rewards? I guess, would need to know exact numbers.

Whatever the case, keep in mind that people are there for the players. If you study, learn and practice, eventually majority can keep the pitch and the stadium ready for footballers. But even if people trained three times more than David, only few could bend it like Beckham.

it's anecdotal but every tournament I've organised or worked on it has been voluntary or prize money has come out of my own pocket.

What I'm saying is that without the back scenes people there would be no events for people to watch and enjoy.

Well of course, that's pretty obvious. "Stars" are entitled to get their prize but the back scene people are generally the backbone of everything and they deserve their fair share. Should there be a better balance? I bet.
