Wow, Gaffer. Never took you as a closet socialist. In case you haven't figured it out yet, it's the fans who willingly choose to pay what they pay to watch these footballers play. In your world, who should reap the benefits? Maybe require the proceeds from television contracts, ticket sales, and licensed apparel be redistributed amongst society? Or perhaps governments should just set a cap on what athletes are allowed to earn, thereby reducing the incentive for some of these guys to work so hard to become brilliant athletes and diminish the interest in sport which creates a market for those who earn their livelihoods by running websites which celebrate the exploits of the world's sportsmen.
Special thanks to Richard Dunne, whose 15th-minute sending off, coupled with Citeh's pitiful excuse for defending against Boro (Boro?) left me reeling. Hell, Dunne could have laid like a stump in the corner and I still would've won but for the -3 for the red card plus the point I lost since he didn't make it to the second half.
