ESPN spitting fax👀
Classic reddit incapable of having a nuanced take. its possible for both the pay structure to be fucked alongside prioritising the health of fellow humans more. but nah they deserve to suffer cuz they make money than you.
And what about the football fan?
If footballers agree to give up a percentage of their ridiculous wages then sure, otherwise they shouldn’t complain too much.
Capitalism ruins everything
socialism isn’t any better
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

Can’t believe ESPN said something smart for once.
That’s what the money is for
Yes please treat them like the rest of the mortals, pay them minimum wage, and if they under perform they get sacked no questions asked, no millions getting paid for being shit.

They should stop treating themselves like products first.
When will be the time to pay them the money they deserve and not GDPs of countries
Erm, the players were the ones that forced the globalization of the market in football (see Bosman ruling). Beforehand,football was much more localized with only the World Cups serving as a global show off. Now, it’s a different market where everyone and their mother is searching high and wide across the globe for the next top talents.
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?
