Proffesional Footballers
Category: Sports
The stick they got for being 'overpayed' completely pisses me off at times you know. Now i'm not denying the fact that there's too much money in football, but to question their right to deserve it is disgusting. Footballers are the world's greatest entertainers; Let's face it, what other form of entertainment gives you the same kind of unrivalled passion, determination, skill, loyalty, drama and controversy as a game of football does? Look at film stars and actors, they are on millions of pounds a year and their wallets put footballers in the shade but do we ever bemoan the fact that they are overpaid? Do we ****, because it's easier to have a go at the sportsmen isn't it? Take Bruce Willis for example, i absolutely adore this man. He gets enough money from doing one film than what i'll ever earn in a lifetime but when was the last time some fat, nobheaded journalist said he was overpayed? Never. Actors work less then footballers do. To be a proffessional footballer you need to be at the physical peak of health anf fitness. You need to mentally fit; Movie stars don't need to cope with a 50,00 seater stadiums full of people hurling abuse at them do they? No. I have more respect for any preoffessional footballer than I do for any other worker in the world. People who don't watch football as closely as I do just don't realise how much these fantastic athletes put into their sport. They don't realise that players like Stevie G and Wayne Rooney can spend months away from their families, they don't realise that they are under so much stress and pressure to do well, they don't realise how physically and mentally draining it is do they?
I don't know what provoked me to rant like this but it's about time we realised that John Terry EARNS his 100k a week. Mikel Arteta has EARNED his fancy house and car and so on and so forth. Football is the greatest form of entertainment in the world, it's the best recreational activity in the world, it's the one language that EVERY country can speak and it unites nations.
Football is not a game, it's THE game. It's the best ****ing thing there is.
