From the Paper:

"Because the rules of soccer are relatively simple, players can begin playing at relatively young ages. In fact, some children start playing soccer as toddlers. However, soccer is also a highly competitive professional sport. In fact, some of the best known professional athletes are soccer players. Unlike many other sports, both male and female soccer players are widely known. Some of the world's most famous soccer players include David Beckham, Mia Hamm, Brianna Scurry, April Heinrichs, Russell Anderson, Tony Adams, Bebeto, Antonio Cabrini, Jorge Campos, Luis Enrique, Ernesto Farias, and Fernando Gago, to name a few. In fact, soccer is such a popular sport that some soccer players become celebrities outside of the game. David Beckham is probably the best example of one of these soccer celebrities."
