My take on this is the boys are being used by the military government and whoever else can get a piece of the action. The government ships them off to TV appearances and a world tour to show off the feel good story of how the boys survived - and the government gets a bit of a positive spillover by being associated with the soccer team boys and the warm feelings being generated towards them.
I read that the team is negotiating (with the help of the government) a movie deal and they are currently on a tour of the US and other parts overseas. The Ellen show gets a ratings bump and everyone gets something.
They are essentially a commodity to be used and then discarded. If they can get something out of this process of their 15 minutes of fame then good for them.

As a continuation of the feel good story about the Wild Boars soccer team - "the boys were seen training with the LA Galaxy team and even played football with the team members. The boys were also given a tour to Galaxy's StubHub Center stadium and the meet was set up by US television star Ellen DeGeneres." - cut and pasted from the linked article below. Good for them - As a sometimes cynic - they will be old news in a few months - Get the freebies while you can boys.
