It anoys me that sports stars - and especially footballers - get criticised so much for what they earn, when you hardly ever hear any criticism of film stars and pop stars who earn just as much.
I think it's a class thing - nobody likes to see those uncouth, uneducated working class lads making loads of money, they should know their place, but it's alright for arty-farty middle class actors to do so.
Let's throw it in the other direction. If the common man didn't, go to the game, or buy CDs, DVds etc, or go to movies and watch TV, none of these "icons" would be making all this excess money.
One thing professional athletes, music stars and actors have in common is charisma. They can sell themselves well.
