firstly footballers hardly give up their body for entertainment, yes they may receive a few pathetic injuries but everyone does this is nothing to do with them playing football. In addition soldiers give up their own LIFES for us and they get paid nothing compared to footballers!

• In recent poll over whether footballers are overpaid 160 out 180 said yes! That’s 160 people to 20! That’s 89%

• David Beckham gets paid over £24.1 a year! This is outrageous!

• Almost half the world is in poverty! How can we pay footballers ridiculous sums of money like this while children are dying of starvation, where man kills each other in war and people are under control of dictators.

• The average nurse earns 26-33 thousand pounds a year

• The average primary teacher earns 62-63 thousand pounds a year

• Footballers are paid a luxurious £676,000 a year!!!

• Nurses, firemen and policemen work extremely hard to keep everyone safe and they hardly earn a fraction of what footballers earn! Surely someone saving peoples lifes should get paid more that someone playing sport

• Football encourages conflict, between different clubs and their fans, this is rubbed off onto children, for example at my previous school when I was younger everybody was constantly arguing about who was the best football team, some boys even placed in school bets!

• Footballers have an outrageous behaviour as well! 1) no discipline, arguing with referee in inappropriate ways, what type of example is this for the children watching? There role models in conflict. 2) Many footballers even have affairs! This may be the source of the youth’s poor behaviour. An example of this is Wayne Rooney paying someone £1,200 to have sex with him! This is because they are paid so much there can literally buy anything.
