The money footballers earn these days is a joke, they train 3 hours a day maximum and not every day, they then play for 90 minutes at the weekend and then maybe and mid-week game which is nothing when you compare them to someone who works 9-5 all week or even people that have to work horrible shifts and also most players end up getting injured which can mean their out of action for a long period of time, take Michael Owen for example he hasn't played one minute of premiership football this season after getting badly injured at the world cup so for just sitting around at home doing nothing he still gets his full pay, don't get me wrong there are some very talented players about no doubt about that but yeah overall i think footballers get paid way too much for such little work.
