For the soccer, I think you're talking about Freddy Adu. He's only 13 and playing on the U-17 National team. I caught a few clips of him, and this kid is seriously sick. He was absolutely shredding the best 17 year olds in the world. It was nuts. Seeing as how his family was relatively destitute and recent immigrants from ..I forget, somewhere in Africa, they really could have used the money. He's already being hailed as the savior of American soccer.
But seriously, if I had a son and someone offered me a million dollars for him to wear clothing of a certain brand and preform in commercials, I sincerely doubt I would have the strength to say no. That's a million dollars you're talking about. A little more important than HS basketball.
