Does it bother you that athletes who couldn’t name a country on a map and whose job is basically kicking a bag of air, make more money than you, your kids, and your grandkids ever will?
>>
still more value than a girl uploading 1 shitty picture a week to onlyfans and making 100 grand a month.
>>
no.
>>
No.
For every player, who makes it to that level, there are 1000, maybe 10000 who didn't. They gambled and it paid off. Good for them.

Not really. Top talent gets paid in all fields.

>you MUST think about niggers every single breathing moment or you aren't a based and redpilled argathan chud like me
fuck off

Everything is arbitrary though, meritocracy is a fantasy, it's simply supply and demand. A select few sports command attention and generate revenues to make money even with absurd wages, and competing teams want to draw further attention by attracting the most talent. Top footballers get paid millions sure, but go down a few leagues and you're not far off minimum wage. And even top rugby players basically get paid average wages for 10 years and half are left with broken bodies and life changing injuries by the time they get churned out. When you get to field hockey and other niche sports, it's basically all amateur. Maybe it's not fair, but nothing is.

>t. Mamadou Traoré from Saint Denis
>>
not really because i simply wasn't born with the talent
whatever job i get won't make as much money but i also won't be in the news or in front of cameras too
>>
>>152603401
there's billions of people more talented than me in this world
what are you gonna do
>>
No. Like someone else said, at least these people are good at something inherently positive (being athletic). The only 4hibg that makes me mad is when they are entirely oblivious and ungrateful for the live they get to enjoy.
>>
I think they should donate their salaries to nurses and soldiers

There's like a 0.000000001% chance you make it as a professional footballer. If they're one, they're there because they earned it, but with luck (being scouted) playing a factor too. I mean being a footballer is a job too, you play a lot of matches nowadays, train a lot, you don't have much time for vacation. Its not as easy as kicking a ball. Playing casually and being in a real team that requires you to put in the effort is a different thing. Unless you're messi, football isn't as simple as kicking a ball.
>>
He's exactly where he should be in life using his god given talents to the fullest with minimal waste
>>
>>152603401
what's the point of naming a country on a map? zero practical value in the real world
retardchads like palmer are based, only midwits seethe about them
>>
He's also black.
>>
>>152603401
Yeah they should earn half of their current wages
>>
>>152603401
is the mouth inhaling technique the secret key to british excellence?
>>
Not in the slightest because I understand the economics behind football and none of the money could've been in my pockets anyway.
I'm more concerned with our government budget being more than doubled in 10 years yet they literally cannot get anything done anymore.
>>
>>152604582
I'm a big Messi hater but I never thought of him as being dumb, rather just autismal.
>>
many ex-footballers end up broke, divorced and begging for attention in the media, so let them have their few years of luxury.
