The top players, yes. They don't even know what do do with their money. Players at smaller clubs barely get paid at all and they can only play for a few years.

Sure. People should get paid for their work. Sometimes, it's just way too much.

@Alexandrubaschet08 Just to offer some context, you're statistically much more likely to die in a plane crash. Of course if you take a plane to get to the match you are really risking it!

It always comes down to how much revenue the sport and the team bring in. It’s arguably the most popular sport in the world, so it commands a lot of money, and the players are in turn, paid very well.

Few industries pay more at the top echelon of their field than entertainment. People spend tons of money on entertainment, directly or indirectly, and teams/leagues get millions and millions and millions of dollars, some of which is passed onto the athletes, because they’re the ones who put asses in the seats. We can talk about how all someone does is play a game, or sing songs, or act in movies, and how much better their paid than people doing more beneficial and noble things... but that’s on us, because we’re simply collectively more interested in not being bored, so that’s where we throw a lot of our excess money. That can be direct like buying tickets to a game, or a jersey, or it can be indirect, by simply being one of the homes that’s tuned in to a game, which creates higher TV contracts and endorsement deals for the team, which, again, goes to the talent, the athletes.

They are in the entertainment industry, the whole industry pays crazy money. Werent the big bang theory actors on $1m dollar an epsisode? The rock would get $20m for a film. It's not the players fault there's so much mkney at the very top of the game. You come down to Championship or league 1 level and they really dont earn much given the shortness and uncertainty of their careers

For what they need milions and in 30 yares billions of euro to play FOOTBALL not soccer.
I will accept like hundret tousends if they are profesional. Is enought to take a car house and start a buisnis in less then 1 yare + they can take some other big money like millions from claims.

They put theyr life in danger when they play profesional in any sport, players will moust of the time play for money and will not care that you play for fun. So they will do all they can to take you out of the game in a fair way.
Thous who injure Messi and Cristiano become heros for the rivals. And thous player can get an injury that they will be destroyed for life.
Searsh for the player NESU MIHAI, this one get paralizate from the nek all the way down to the legs, ar players that die on the field

I whas a profesional basketball player, i didn't play in the first league of my country but when you start to play profesional evrething is changeing, is not the same like playing in a park. Regular players on park don't play whit me and olso i don't play whit them if they don't know a minimum level, because we can hurt each other.
In a time in a park just pecause i use to much force i put a dud to the grownd and he olmout brake his shoulder. Just because he didn't expect me to keep my position vs his moves

That is theyr job, afther they give up to football all the income them x100 lower. And a lot of them sacrifaci school, univeristy to play at that level so they still need big salary because thous player will not be able to make an university at 38-45 yares and then start to work somethin new. As a midium player not a very famoust player but an important one for the team you can still make in a dificul way a future whit educations.
So this is another one for keeping a little hight the salaris

They get a bigger slice of their cake, but the cake itself is smaller.

Womens soccer just is not as interesting as mens, so a lot less people watch it. Last time I checked, the womens worldchampion team lost against the under-16 boys. That's hilarious.
