I agree. And I hate football as sport as well.

I'm speaking frrom the point of view of a poorrish perrson, of courrse, but the majorrity of fans arre worrking class people with little money to sparre. Tickets arre a rrip off, shirrts even morre so... even the pies and cups of tea arre too expensive. All of this to fuel the likes of Wayne Rooney's gambling habits.

Footballers don't make fuck all in the grand old scheme of sports, look at F1 or baseball. It's all relative and it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game whatsoever.

i'm always surprised at how people can be got in by money, a good example, david beckham playing at man united, he would have MORE than enough money, yet he still goes to real madrid, he leaves england, moves his kids, leaves the nation he is captain of.
i'm sure i'ld if i were in that situation i would stay.

The FIFA moves more money than some of the poorest countries put together. Fact.

I take little interest in sport I'm not competing in. I'll watch international matches over a few pints as a social event, but spending £1000s a year on following and supporting a bunch of strangers kicking a pigskin around really doesn't interest me. It's one of those things I just don't see the attraction of.

the only thing that kinda bothers me is the differences among team mates. you have a guy earning 200.000 euros per week and then his team mate getting 5.000. that can suck..

The amount some of them are getting has long since gone over the top. But it's not just the pay but what clubs are paying for the players. Buying players for 20.000.000 pounds. Jesus.
I think that football, or sports in general, is the only profession where you can totally fuck up, even week after week, and still get overpaid.

I'd agree, but I'd like to add senior management to that group too.

sportsmen in general are overpaid. they don't do much work compared to other occupations where you use your body a lot, the difference is in their silly entertainment value... if all the sports-hooked assholes in the world realised they were contributing to one of those self-necessary (necessary only in effect of them creating a demand for themselves) things that just get in the way of other more important things, the world would be a better place.

if footballers got paid the same as the average nine-to-fiver , the extra money would alleviate world poverty.
football sucks anyway. i dont like watching young men running around in shorts and periodically flashing their chest in a wet muddy field.
