ESPN spitting fax👀
People are overworked in almost every industry in the world, why should we necessarily care more about the ones who get paid astronomically to play what is at the end of the day an inconsequential game for a living?
That’s what the money is for
They should stop treating themselves like products first.
I can’t wait until the guy hears about what every other job looks like.
Oh purrrleeaaassseee. Footballers are the most oberpampered, overpaid, spoilt brats in the world of entertainment, besides actors. They get paid when they are injured, get paid when they are sick, get paid when they cant be bothered turning up for training,for a couple of hours a day. Think of the poorly paid staff behind the scene before you start crying about footballers
“Products” like they aren’t paid millions a year and won’t retire at 40 with enough wealth for 5 generations lol, fuck outta here with this nonsense.
Players salaries go up, more games are added. Do I agree with it? Not really. But do I sympathize with players making millions of dollars for kicking a ball? Fuck no, especially when most of these players are shit human beings.
This take is always crazy to me, I don’t think it’s hard to understand that injuries can affect your mental health and that billion dollar organizations can do more to protect young players.
If footballers agree to give up a percentage of their ridiculous wages then sure, otherwise they shouldn’t complain too much.
The amount of games the top players have to play is insane. FIFA + league+ 3 country cups + euro.
Has to be close to 50-60 games a year. And they don’t even really get months off.
The top guys are starting at 20 and doing this for 15 years.
Has anyone ever heard of rotating players during games? Or what if you used the whole squad instead of playing 11 guys always?
I know…This sounds like madness and super revolutionary. Genius-like ideas here.
Capitalism ruins everything
Not the players bank accounts
True to a degree but also they are not paid on a peer game basis. So these organizations can keep adding additional games and the players will see no wage increase. Not that I know of anyway but I’m not totally sure

socialism isn’t any better
let’s start paying them like 99.9% of humans then.
Yea uh, the players need to make a stand. Otherwise there will be more and more tournaments. It sucks, but they are the only ones that can stop this.
With the shit load of money they make the demands and expectations increase. I have sympathy for an athletes’ schedule. This is also quite ironic coming from an entity that is solely reliable on the product.
