প্রয়াস কি সত্যিই ফলোটের মূল্য?

যা বলছে না

আমি মনে করি—আমার father’-এর—শান্ত,থকা—বলছিল, ‘বাচ্চা,তারা €1.8B-এর ‘অধিক’…কিন্তু ‘য’?’

গত June, Instagram-এ scroll-এর–Diogo-Costa Porto (€40M), Saliba-Bastoni Arsenal (€80M), Pedri-Barveid Barca-Madrid (€130M/€140M), Mbappé-Haaland-Amari—all €180M–200M.

হেডলাইন screamed ‘Best Lineup.’ Algorithm called it ‘talent.’

কিন্তু South Side court-এ—যেখানে sneakers split concrete—সত্যিই cost transfer fee—not—it’s sleepless night: mothers asked, ‘Did he ever get his chance?’

Stadium-এর behind Court

আমি three years freelance sports analyst—stats chase not—but teens listen streetlight under. They didn’t need Nike contract. They needed time. They needed someone to say: ‘You’re worth more than your contract.’

আমি meet Jamal last fall. He dribbled past two defenders, carried his father’s old shoes, did not wear them—just kept moving. His contract? €200M. The bench? Empty. The dream? Still alive.

Why We Mistake Value for Worth

This roster skill not—it access. The system measures market cap—not heart. The kid who scores from cracked concrete gets ignored—not tagged with NFT—he gets algorithm designed for billionaires. We confuse wealth with worth because we look upward—to stadiums—and forget downward—to where dreams stitched by hands never paid.
