Do you think footballers today.are overrated and over paid.?
Answers:
Yes!
They get paid millions just to kick a ball around a field. I think the people who really deserve to get paid loads don't. People like paramedics, the police, nurses, firefighters, soldiers, engineers etc should be the ones who earn loads because they are making a real difference in this world.
The word "hero" is over used. I remember a football figurine advert wih the caption "A hero in your hand". That's not a true hero. A hero puts his/her life on the line for others, with no regard for their own safety. These true heroes should be paid much more for what they do.
The people who actually improve the world should go down in history and be revered for all time, not sportsmen.
specially ronaldinho
Yes, I think most sports athletes are over-rated and over paid
over rated?.. no over payed?.. YES
yes,yes
Yes i do, far toooooo overpaid for the job they do, i mean kicking a ball around, look at the amount of money, i seriously hope they donate to charity all these families with no water in 3rd world countries and heres them falshing the cash. Sorry it makes me really mad!!!!!.xxxxxxx
footballers are overrated and overpaid, and the sport is over-publicised.
Yes Very. I absolutely hate football. All footballers are overpaid. Everywhere you look there is a fotballer advertising something or in the news, it does my head in. Why do they get so much for kicking a bag of wind, its not fair !
most definitely. what do they do with all that money? people doing worthwhile things like saving lives in the fire brigade or finding cures for cancer etc should be getting the wages people like david beckham get.
Without a doubt!
If they paid more attention to the game they were heavily paid to play, instead of their appearance and being on the front pages of the papers as opposed to the back.
Maybe england could win some cups?
absolutely
yeah i fink that henry is the most overated player of the year, he is crap and plays good against crap teams, the newly promoted teams (watford.) anyway i also think that footballers nowadays are overpaid, com on people, i kno they are entertaining but don't pay them that much, this money could be used 4 good use, like helping the MEDC, and developing countries, children in need. however saying that im a great football fan, com on spurs won against chelsea, even barca couldn't beat them,lol
yea other people do much worh whlile jobs and dont get a fraction of what they do maybe society should start paying for people who do fantastic worthwhile jobs instead of people who kick a football round a pitch
U MEAN OVER PAID!
Like what in the hell do they do!
they only jiggle with the ball
and hey the next thing u know it
they get paid millions!
while others have to get their a s s
worked hard,work 24/7 to find food 2 eat!
Yes.
Simple Answer. Yes
How they're rated is a personal thing, overpaid, most certainly. If only other sportspeople had a fraction of what footballers get, we would do so well in the Olympics!
Yes, very much so. As are celebrities like Jonathan Woss and many others.
yes they are overpaid it should be you get paid only if you win (fairly)
Absolutely,when we see the skill levels or lack of skill levels,the wages paid are obscene
Yes they are, as much as I love football, I don't understand why they get paid so much. I'm going to university struggling with money and I know when I qualify I will be doing a job that I will work hard at but all they need to do is kick the ball and they'll will get paid triple the amount I would get in one week.
you're just jealous because you can't play football
of course over paid.
of course!
Celebrities in general tend to be over-paid.
What does 'overpaid' mean? The amount of money that is generated from football is immense. Thereare lots of shareholders making killings from investing in successful football teams and lots of manufactures maing enormous amounts selling replica shirts etc. it's not just footballers who are making huge amounts of money, look at Tiger Woods or some of the American basketball and football players, they are sponsored by major manufacturers of sporting equipment and this is where most of their income comes from. The return on investment from the clubs and manufacturers means that the top players are being paid what they are worth.
yes and yes
i totally agree with u. especially layers like ronaldiniho because if for example if u look at his preformance in the 2006 world cup, he played awful. he is well over paied and doesn't deserve what he is rated. while players such as t.henry and zidan are really good players and so desirve what they are rated and paied even though they do mess up once in a while-hey everyone does that once in a while
