It isn't really. It more like football(soccer) was a hobby for him which he hold very dearly and was very passionate about it to a point where he was good enough to be signed by real madrid. This is pretty much like people getting employed by (to be on topic) valve because of their great mods. Not everybody's gonna get into real madrid, and have the (jesus, i hate this word) "privilege" to do what he wishes and get to be recognized for his unique talents, yet how many in the world hope and try their utmost best? Theres a sharp distinction between industry grade and "common" grade things. And before it somehow get's twisted, i'm not saying that modders shouldn't get "paid", but just like lower sponsores, We are the ones paying the modders by either patreon and/or through donations, yet they threw us away for a "better bigger deal" which isn't even favourable to the modders themselfes. They have a right to ask for money, but the moment it's behind a paywall, and they do not ask, they demand for money, Which is (to stay with our theme) like as if they charged to look for the football matches which take place in a public football ground. Not to mention the ficky fucky laws, or any other idiotic shit valve pressed.
