Sick of people constantly reposting sh*t like this on Facebook... Before everyone goes mental and all "you hate soldiers" etc on me, hear me out. I'm sick of them constantly being compared to footballers. People CHOOSE to go into the army and for a lot of them it's a great career path. I love the work they do and I often donate to Help For Heroes to do my bit. I just don't see how footballers are soldiers can be compared . Sure, a lot of footballers are ing idiots. But they've earned their wages by working at their skills and playing good football. Not to mention that a lot of people that repost stuff like this will go to football matches and fund players wages, whilst complaining about it. What the is all that about? Anyway, rant over .

I'm more sick of seeing photos of puppies getting kicked and cats getting raped, and the cretins who think reposting it 837 times is going to magically stop animal abuse.

I actually agree with you man. You cant blame the footballers for taking their wage packets...if your offered 250k a week for kicking a ball then you run with the money. If you wanna go to war then sign up.

Gotta love the ones that are like "Share this if you love your mum, ignore if you want her to die."

To be honest I'm not sick of it. I'm sick of footballers collecting £250k per week and soldiers and ex soldiers earning small money for defending our country. I know quite a few ex soldiers who now live on benefits due to the mental strain and can't function correctly after army life. They're Is no help for them. Why don't footballers help. They've got millions.
Btw I stopped paying to watch football in 2005. I can't understand how it's nearly £50 for 90mins of football, then travel to get there. Food and drink lets say £80 plus, programme, items from the club shop. So upto £100 a match. When we are all getting hammered with tax by the government and alot of us struggle to survive. So the likes of Carlos Teves earns £150k per week and really doesn't care for the fans or club he's with.

An email address or a phone number is sufficient to stay in touch with people. Also agree with your previous post, i stopped subscribing to the sports channels long ago because i lost any emotional attachment to these football clubs and im glad to say i dont miss it in the least.

They've got millions. I don't think people should be forced into helping, just because they have the financial means. It's their money that they've earned. A lot of people in the country are much richer than footballers, surely if anybody, they should help? A lot of footballers have their own football academies and charities that they donate to and are patrons for, so they do donate to charity quite a lot. Plus, only a select group of footballers earn money £150,000+ per week, yet by people putting sh*t like that on Facebook, it gives ALL footballers a bad name.

I don't get why people compare, but I don't agree footballer's earn their wage, especially for what a lot of them are on for it. They are way overpaid.

But realistically, who in their right mind would turn down money like that? I don't know why people criticize them for it when it's not their fault, it's the club owners / chairman who offer them the wages. If someone offers you a lot of money, you're going to take it.

1) soldiers AND footballers. 2) I'm sick and tired of people liking or sharing pictures of kids with cancer, kids with visually disturbing disabilities or dying babies. Yes, it's sad. But I don't want to see that shit. I've deleted a few friends for it. 3) I absolutely hate when people like the same types of pictures, even though if you go onto the pictures and read the comments to see hundreds of people saying they're fake or stolen pictures. I had a picture of a little girl with a black eye and a few teeth missing with the title saying "Stop child abuse, don't let parents get away with these crimes" when in actuality she had been attacked by a kid younger than her at school. How hard is it to read the comments before you share something? Gullible idiots.

I'm not saying they should turn it down, I'm just saying that it's actually insane how much they get paid, No job in the world is work 100k a week.

In all honesty, footballer wages are a complete load of in my opinion. Of course they're not going to turn it down, they'd be mad not too, but its ludicrous that people (with many of them being dicks) who kick a ball around for 90 minutes a week get more money than those who save lives. Not talking about soldiers but doctors, nurses, care assistants who many will work about 12 hours a day battling the stress and difficulties of their job are rare to see a weeks worth of many footballers wages. Are footballers skilled? Definitely. But kicking a football does not mean they deserve the crazy wages, they deserve about a 100th of their wage truthfully.

I understand all points here and fair play we are entitled to them. Here's some more from me tho Yes bankers and business men do earn a lot of money. There should be a cap on what they receive but it won't happen as these money chasers will disappear to money rich countries for even more money. Mercenaries. It's a sad situation really. As its said money is the route of all evil. And it's true. Maybe a happy medium here is a higher tax on bankers and footballers. I turned Facebook off about 15 months back. It got abit crazy. I'd talk for hours online to so called friends then see them in the street and they wouldn't say hello.

I agree with both of you but theres a Uni group on Facebook thats a lot of help which i wouldnt have without facebook and people who live on other sides of the world so phoning them is quite difficult. I also dont pay my phone bill a lot cos i spend all my money before it due so half the time I cant use my phone. I might get rid of it when I finish Uni though, there wont be a lot of use for it after that.

I don't see how them being skilled is a valid reason for their wages. I'd say it takes much more skill to be a surgeon than a footballer.
