They should be paid as much as people are willing to pay them. Ronaldo is obviously making Real Madrid millions of dollars, so it only makes sense that he makes millions of dollars himself. People who say that athletes are paid too much have no idea how the world works.
Most people would be happy with 40,000k a year let alone 50,000k a week. On the other hand u have these players which are earning 100,000k a week some people earn that over the corse of 3-4 yrs !!!!!!
No footballers are paid according to their market value. stop comparing people who are paid by private entities to those job that are from public sector e.g firefighters.
If people pay to see them play and people pay for there merchandise why shouldn't they get a big percentage of that money in there wage ? Yes its a lot and yes theres the argument that doctors and people should be paid more but thats not footballers faults is it. No one moans about a star actor getting a few million quid for a film that they've helped sell or music stars who get millions when there songs sell well.
It's the same with surgeons they are elite trained life savers , what's a football player a skilled person who lives in a mansion who probably has no fucks given to the fans!
Honestly there are some good arguments for why footballers are paid so much but it comes down to the simple fact that no one in the world needs that much, especially those who are living on something they enjoy doing. I would rather see the money go to those dedicating their lives to helping the world, but even they shouldn't be that rich!
No they're not. The amount of money they recieve is based on the amount of total amount of views or publicity they will get. People want to see these people play. Its all business. The highest paid players are paid generously for a reason. They attract views, they are marketed well, and in turn they just turn out to be making twice as much money for many others.
Many jears later in the future. I asked 2 old man, what have you done in youre lives. First old man told me he was a garbageman he used to clean the streets for 50 years. Second old man with his golden rolex and a nice car, told me he used too play soccer and score a lot of goals. I like the first old man.
No, they are not. They have dedicated their life to a trait that is far from easy. The physical toll on their bodies. They work harder than actors, and actors make more, how is it were not judging actors? This is an entertainment business. Players like Ronaldo, bale, Messi, (not Rooney...) go out of their way to entertain. It's well deserved.
It's not even debatable, their wage is a disgrace while the rest of us scrimp by and the worse off still still starve. Imagine how great life could be for all if footballers made 50k a year and all the excess was spread evenly across the world of working people. If football is their passion, they can do it for less.
Jamie S aren't these same people you are gonna share your money with the same ones that criticize these players?. People should just work hard for their money
This always annoys me. They are paid too much for just kicking a bag or air around for 90 minutes. I think the people who deserve this kind of money is people who protect and serve their country like the police, the army. Other people who deserve this are oil riggers and miners.
They don't just play for 90 minutes they give up quiet a lot of their life they make less money then their name attracts to their clubs Ronaldo makes more money then he gets payed for they pay a lot of a higher Tax then us
I believe that they do deserve to be paid more but it’s the people who watch the games, buy the tickets and Jerseys that why footballers are paid so much money
right enough of this shit. We need to make a change to this. I don't see how anyone in the entertainment business (Actors, sport players etc) should get paid so much? We need to give them a separate currency, pay them 'Entertainment tokens' which they can use to buy food, clothes and basic things, but they cant shell out on Ferrari and mansions, they'll need to get a real job on the side. We don't need entertainment, what they are doing isn't real jobs, it is just something help people get through life (or to bet on..) and it shouldn't be classed as a real job. They should need to get a real job on the side of being a footballer or basketball player or acting in a movie or stunts. They should be paid their own separate currency, which cannot be used for certain things that money can, but it can still buy them their basic needs.
Sure these players are amazing players and bring lots of money to clubs, but do they need to be payed 10s of millions of dollars on top of brand endorsements! No way, they could live and manage off of $100,000 a year. Not saying thats what they should be payed but a couple million is more then enough. Theres millions of people around the world who cant afford to eat or buy clothes or shelter, and these players are trying to get even more money then they already have! If the average person can live off of $150,000 a year, why cant they?
Yes they get paid alot, but do they get paid to much No. I guess we are all forgetting that football is more than just 90min game there is alot of behind the scene which we dont see.
Wayne Rooneys new contract has sparked this whole debate in the football world. But ye if Basketballers earn more than 50mil a year. Then I think the top footballers deserve what they get.
It's all well and fair saying NFL get paid to much but they have college degrees and and can't play pro if they don't have a high iq unlike football players if use got talent ur gonna get signed

Supply = Demand. It's a simple concept. That money doesn't come from nowhere. It's we the people who are paying these athletes.
Paying these idiots, not athletes!
Yes. They are.
Most people would be happy with 40,000k a year let alone 50,000k a week. On the other hand u have these players which are earning 100,000k a week some people earn that over the corse of 3-4 yrs !!!!!!
It's not footballers getting paid too much, it's athletes in general.
amapolishplummer you say it like of if anyone can become a pro athlete only a small percentage become pro like .05%

No. They earn every penny. Its a highly skilled profession that only a small percentage of people can achieve.
Egg zackly only a small amount get to play pro and Fifa. They only take best of the best in soccer.
It's the same with surgeons they are elite trained life savers , what's a football player a skilled person who lives in a mansion who probably has no fucks given to the fans!
Ryan Lewis yup only .05 percent make it pro
Charles Richie footballers aren't born with talent they earn it with hardwork and determination.

Archie Carr I mean most of them have foundations plus I’d prefer more money didn’t go to the owner who is the actual reason for income inequality
To say footballers are overpaid is the same as saying the billionaire club owners deserve a larger share in the revenue in billions.
Yep.
No they're not. The amount of money they recieve is based on the amount of total amount of views or publicity they will get. People want to see these people play. Its all business. The highest paid players are paid generously for a reason. They attract views, they are marketed well, and in turn they just turn out to be making twice as much money for many others.
Yeah, so many people seem to miss that point, though.
and they win games
Many jears later in the future.

The money comes from sales and the owner. If the owner is willing to pay that much then it is the argument is invalid.
5:32 this guy saw the near future
Slightly yes they earn it but they're other professions where you need to earn it
When footballers retire they just become coaches, pundits, or staff at the club
MrSpiritesdk or end up broke
This shouldn't even be a discussion, rooney/ronaldo could buy on family home every week, how does that make sense
they are paid a lot but compared to how much attention they attract, no
No, they are not. They have dedicated their life to a trait that is far from easy. The physical toll on their bodies.

Jamie S maybe you should work hard like footballers do.
Jamie S aren't these same people you are gonna share your money with the same ones that criticize these players?. People should just work hard for their money
why don't you work hard for this type of money then
@@humayun9490 I work very hard doing a job, id do for free.
Foot ballers dont work hard, they can run for abit and kick and ball.
@@GrimJRS why dont you try playubg football professionaly then

Yeah probably because you think about firefighters they risk their lives for saving people....
yeah but still they deserve more
@@aatusalminen752 so if your life was on the line you'd rather pay more for entertainment than for your own health

How the fuck is it logical that Wayne Rooney earns 300k a week, that would be a huge salary per year
Messi is worth more than fucking Ronaldo.
Agree
Age wise he will be worth more but as of now Ronaldo is on top.
if there is that much money in the game then use it no?
Players get paid millions because the top clubs make billion so the top players make millions
Wayne Rooneys new contract has sparked this whole debate in the football world. But ye if Basketballers earn more than 50mil a year. Then I think the top footballers deserve what they get.
