Raheem Stirling - Seperate Issue
26 Answers
The outrage from Raheem Stirling about the alleged racist abuse is one thing, but there is another issue, in my opinion, that comes out of his article yesterday when he mentioned two young players buying houses. It's nothing to do with race or racism. It's the fact that young players like those, have huge amounts of money available when they haven't done anything. It's a money issue for me. And what has happened over the last 15 years in football, shows that the fans are now conditioned to this talk of large sums of money. They just accept it. When the rest of the country has supposedly been going through years of austerity, football lives in it's own bubble and has conned the fans into parting with their hard earned money, when there is no need. In the summer, a player was transferred from one premier league club to another for the "bargain" price of £12M! That was the description in the media. A "bargain". The money factor is obscene and the scale of it is obscene. The huge sums of money just become accepted as normal. No player is worth £1m in my opinion. An enormous amount of money. Football should stop taking the mick out of people and give them free admission. It'll "only" cost a couple of million.

To get to the top in football means years of hard work dedication, and commitment, the part of the iceberg you don't see or don't wish to see. They also do a lot of charitable work but let's ignore that and concentrate on the negatives
JohnK, none of that justifies the amount of money they're paid. None of it. Your comparisons are wothless. I used to go to school with 2 former Enland internationals and am still friends with a former Man. Utd. player. I can tell you that the agents and the players will screw the clubs and the sponsors for all they can get, e.g. what work do the players do to obtain "image rights"? What work? The amount of money is obscene and it should be stopped by legislation.
