Impact of bosman ruling

Until the Bosman ruling, playing football was a "fun" activity that made people famous but ended in the mid-30s, which could not be called a career. Therefore, many families not only stopped supporting their children's dreams of becoming footballers but also actively opposed them. However, after the Bosman ruling, liberated footballers began to receive unimaginable salaries, turning football into a real career option. With the support of their families, millions of young footballers began to strive to become professionals, leading to the inclusion of thousands of new stars in the talent pool. The change did not stop there. The astronomical salaries paid to footballers increased media interest in football. Before the early 1990s, it was impossible to see a player's name on any team's jersey. This is because until those years, the heroes of football were not the players who played it but the teams that fielded them. After the Bosman lawsuit, along with the zeitgeist of the time, the media's approach to football changed. Now, the stars who played the game became the heroes. Bosman sacrificed his career to give us the game we watch today, and our gratitude to him will always continue.
