      I've said that before people who enjoy their jobs (hobbies) playing football should get minimum wage and people who hate their jobs(probably 90% of the population) should get tonnes of cash but unfortunately it can't be like that. But it's the public who pay the footballers wages and they are the ones who make them FILTHY rich.
      But what pisses me of when these footballers moan got to play too many games and got to retire at 30 plus. I would have loved to have retired at 30 with millions in the bank.

      I agree footballers don't deserve such high wages but the reason they get such high wages is because people give them so much money in the first place sponsorships. Give them so much money. The fans give them so much money The market has determined that they're worth that much, so that's what they get paid.

    @django3422 Рік тому +66

    As frustrating as it is... I can't totally blame people for looking the other way, it's a mentality that has been encouraged throughout the UK for as long as I can remember. Not just around football, around anything. Coporate entities and public figures with PR teams have gotten very good at performative gestures of morality. But then a money making opportunity comes up and their supposed values dry up. So it's little wonder that's something that's somewhat ingrained itself in people's psyches.
    There's also this element of... I don't think it's possible to be an ethical consumer in a capitalist society. Nearly everything we touch, be it a piece of technology or even some of the food on our tables, either has a bodycount or a big negative environmental impact, often both. We don't often see this because we've outsourced so much to poorer nations, but over time more and more people have tried to bring our attention to it. But the more we learn, the more we find ourselves unable to make a difference, as even the social media devices we use to communicate our anger are part of this. So I think that a willingness to sweep things under the rug becomes almost a mental survival technique, as truly processing all the evil of the world that is wrought by our consumption is enough to drive one past despair. And once you overlook one or two things, it gets easier and easier to overlook others.
    I don't say this to excuse it. I'm not making an argument in favour of willful ignorance. From my experience (futilely) arguing with work colleagues and trying to change minds, I think we need to understand the above when we engage with people about this. If we understand WHY they're averse to facing the reality, maybe it'll be easier to make an argument that they're sympathetic to.

    Always enjoy Russel's comedy.
    That being said, the underlying racism and hypocrisy of the BBC when it comes to football is just appalling. FIFA has been a corrupt organization for a long time, yet it's only brought up when a "unworthy" country hosts a big tournament. All the negative press, the incorrect reporting on the fan village ( why not show the match viewing outdoor lounges, restaurants, food buffet), the noise about alcohol ban when it clearly exists across many other stadiums, it all wreaks of the underlying idea that African/Asian countries shouldn't be "allowed" to host a big event. It feels strange to be writing a serious comment on a comedy video, but really, if England is that serious about it's morality, then why not put your money where your mouth is and boycott the tournament. ..... Hypocrites.

Weird thing is Britain are still, now, making billions of pounds deals with Qataris profiting from them but so long as they didn't invade Iraq, they should pursue the moral high ground. Luckily they didn't do a dozen other murderous things since then. Britain. Morally superior by being immoral and sweeping it under the carpet but nobody dare better question that.

      Football is something I've never liked or understood.
      It's rough and at the same time very dramatic game.

      Probably because their freedom of press is about the same level as their human rights. Watch when they threatened to destroy a Danish reporters camera live on the air. So yeah, you're only seeing happy people because Qatar insists on it.

    I think people have seriously gotten so confused. Qatar is not saying "Don't be gay". They're saying that you don't need to publicise the fact that you're gay. I saw an interview where a news reporter was interviewing a Qatari representative and he said that they welcome everyone, even people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. What they don't accept and encourage is the publicising of it. He said that it is frowned upon even when heterosexual couples are public about their relation by doing PDA. So NO, Qatar is not saying "Don't be gay", they're saying you don't need to publicise being gay.

    In 2002, David Beckham was asked if he thinks footballers have a duty to talk about important issues, due to their status and platform... His answer was that he doesn't think footballers should have to because if it isn't relevant to him, he was brought up to ignore it.
    This is literally what white, cisgender and straight privelege is: "if it's not about me, I don't care".

    For today's match between Qatar and Senegal, the wankers with the broadcast rights in my country hired someone who had worked in a youth academy in Qatar. Obviously he spouted some crappy propaganda, but when they wanted to cut back from that to the second half, the other expert on the couch "hijacked" the outro and slotted in some harsh criticism of the human rights situation. He wasn't eloquent (he's a ex-footballer and he was rushing and improvising), but I loved that he couldn't let that turd burger stand without comment.

    Western media has maintained its double standards against the hosting country. For instance, the BBC ignored the World Cup opening ceremony to criticize Qatar by not broadcasting it. However, the British broadcaster televised the opening ceremonies for the Russian World Cup and Beijing Olympics despite their human rights records. Moreover, the British football team has protested Qatar for labor rights, but it has been revealed that British Football Association’s shirts, which cost 115 pounds ($139), were made by Thai workers working for 1 pound an hour. Thus, while criticizing Qatar for the conditions of workers, the British turned a blind eye to the conditions of workers manufacturing their shirts!
