Sports, The Arts and Games

Utopians love sports, the arts, music, games, religion and helping others. They are first and foremost participants and secondly are avid spectators.

Whereas in the capitalistic world the star athletes make $20 million a year and other talented athletes make little or nothing, In Utopia the star athletes make $200,000 and beginning athletes make $20,000. A thousand athletes enjoy each sport in Utopia for every athlete in the non Utopian world.

This not only makes each sport more exciting, but this makes the athletes better. Athletes that never had the time to develope their talent now do. Advancement in a sport are no longer dependant on luck, staying healthy, or politics. Now the athletes with desire, dedication and perserverence also rise.

A star athlete will be just as happy competing at wages of $200,000 a year as for $20,000,000 a year. It isn't opulent wealth that makes the star athlete compete, it's the love of the game. What aggravates star athletes is that other athletes that they don't consider as good are, perhaps, making more. It is only the athletes pride that needs satisfaction, not his greed. The star athlete, after a few years, can leave for the opulent wealth of major capitalistic nations.

Artists, chessplayers, actors and actresses, musicians, writers and others are encouraged in a similar way. There is no such thing as a starving artist or athlete in Utopia. Utopians love the arts and sports.
