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 ones can make a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England makes more than £3000 a year. The stars make a lot more. International golf and tennis champions(冠军) can make more than £50000 in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can make as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals(个人), like golf, tennis and motor- racing.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can make more money from advertising(广告) 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 names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.
