Deion Sanders To Pay Wife Pilar Sanders $10,000 Per Month In Alimony Payments

Pilar Sanders and Deion Sanders

A Texas judge has ordered NFL hall of famer, Deion Sanders, to pay his wife, Pilar Sanders, $10,000 per month in alimony payments and to cover her legal fees of $275,000. Sanders, however, comes out ahead, keeping his $5,000,000 mansion, its contents, vehicles, jewelry and financial investments.

The case turned against Pilar when she and a female friend physically attacked Deion in his bedroom, on the side of the property they shared during the divorce proceedings that are ongoing. As a result of the domestic violence attack, Pilar was ordered to leave the home and stay 500 feet away from Deion.

David Beckham Tops Rich Athlete List In Britain

But His Wife Is Still Pouting

The Beckhams

British football star, David Beckham, has topped the athletic category of the rich list in his native England, with an estimated fortune of $258,000,000. The handsome 36-year-old from Essex, England, has made his fortune from playing football and signing a number of lucrative endorsement deals with major brands.

Victoria And David Beckham

His wife is former Spice Girl, the ever pouting 37-year-old, Victoria Beckham. The couple have four beautiful children. One would think having a husband with a washboard stomach, 4 rug rats and $258,000,000 would be enough to make any woman smile, but not Victoria, who could stare down a boxer.

Victoria Beckham

Beckham is known for that perma-pout, as seen in numerous photos of the scowling star. In all seriousness, her pout is now accompanied by a very sad and troubled look in her eyes that was not there before. She's never looked so sad. Something's wrong.

Deion Sanders Is In Trouble With The Law Due To His Wife

Lawyer Says His Wife's Arrest Was A Set Up, But Was It...

Deion Sanders and Pilar Sanders

It pains me to report this, but NFL great, Deion Sanders may be in trouble with the law, regarding his acrimonious divorce from wife, Pilar Sanders, which devolved into domestic violence, when she and her friend Dee Boswell physically attacked him in his bedroom. Pilar's lawyer is claiming a set up in her arrest, but based on accepted facts of the case, Pilar and Boswell beat Sanders, who showed restraint in not hitting them back.

Just because you are the woman does not mean you can be the aggressor and hit men. Pilar should not have attacked her husband. Boswell should not have either. However, police seek to charge Sanders for throwing a mobile phone outside his home that Pilar's friend Boswell held up trying to film him, as they beat him up. It is illegal to film someone in their home, especially their bedroom, without their permission.

Deion Sanders and Tracey Edmonds

It is understandable that Pilar is angry that Deion is now dating Babyface's ex-wife, Tracey Edmonds, who really does not belong in the picture, but she has to restrain herself. Violence is not the answer to this problem. Couples need to express their anger constructively, not through acts of violence. It saddens me to see this happening to the Sanders, but they have to find a positive way to fix this situation, before anyone else gets hurt.

Their children need their love and support. Living in a hostile environment is bound to break their hearts. The Sanders three children are "struggling in school and need counseling" according to the preteen kids' attorney, who was appointed by the court. The Sanders have to pull it together for the sake of their kids. They need to find a way to forgive each other and amicably work things out. Most of all, seek God's guidance and grace through prayer.

Pelé Brazilian football Player

Edson Arantes do Nascimento KBE (name given as Edison on birth certificate, born 21 October 1940 (however, Pelé himself claims that he was born in 23 October), known by his nickname Pelé (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [peˈlɛ]), is a retired Brazilian footballer. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time.

In 1999, he was voted Football Player of the Century by the IFFHS International Federation of Football History and Statistics. In the same year French weekly magazine France-Football consulted their former "Ballon D'Or" winners to elect the Football Player of the Century. Pelé came in first position. In 1999 the International Olympic Committee named Pelé the "Athlete of the Century". In his career he scored 760 official goals, 541 in league championships, making him the top scorer of all time. In total Pelé scored 1281 goals in 1363 games.

In his native Brazil, Pelé is hailed as a national hero. He is known for his accomplishments and contributions to the game of football.[20] He is also acknowledged for his vocal support of policies to improve the social conditions of the poor (when he scored his 1,000th goal he dedicated it to the poor children of Brazil). During his career, he became known as "The King of Football" (O Rei do Futebol), "The King Pelé" (O Rei Pelé) or simply "The King" (O Rei).

On 21 February 1966, Pelé married Rosemeri dos Reis Cholbi. He has two daughters Kelly Cristina (13 January 1967)who married Dr. Arthur DeLuca, and Jennifer (1978) as well as a son Edson ("Edinho" – little Edson, 27 August 1970). The couple divorced in 1982. From 1981 to 1986,

Pelé had been romantically linked with Xuxa and was seen influential in launching the career of the model who was 17 when they started to date.[93] In April 1994 Pelé married psychologist and gospel singer Assíria Lemos Seixas, who gave birth on 28 September 1996 to twins Joshua and Celeste through fertility treatments. They are now separated.

In 2005, Pelé received a lifetime achievement award from the BBC and in June 2006, helped inaugurate the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals, alongside supermodel Claudia Schiffer. Pelé also produced an international ad campaign for drug company Pfizer to promote Viagra and raise world awareness of erectile dysfunction.

Pelé was guest of honour at the world's oldest football club, Sheffield's 150th anniversary match v Inter Milan in November 2007. Inter won 5–2 in front of an appreciative crowd of nearly 19,000 at Bramall Lane. As part of his visit, Pelé opened an exhibition which included the first public showing in 40 years of the original hand written rules of football.

In 2009, he cooperated with Ubisoft on arcade football game Academy of Champions: Soccer for the Wii and also appeared in the game as a coach to its players.

On 1 August 2010, Pelé was introduced as the Honorary President of a revived New York Cosmos (2010), aiming to field a team in Major League Soccer. On 3 August 2011, it was reported that Santos were considering bringing him out of retirement for a cameo role in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup.
