What they are bought and sold for is morally obscene - as has been said, they don't really do anything ground breaking and I wasn't aware that Gareth Barry was up in the ranks of Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos so I'm a bit stumped as to why he's the world's most expensive player

Makes me wonder how they sleep at night.
Sorry about the rant.

They can buy their way out of situations that people like you and I would be prosecuted for.
Talking of 'celebrities', anyone getting tired of 'celebrity' this, that, and the other on telly yet?
There you are Mollie, you are not the only one who can rant.

Re: Football Clubs
So true but I would challenge anyone not to take this money if it were offered to them. Sportsmen have a short time in which they can make significant amounts of money so grab it while they can. Hard to say they shouldn't. Also many don't go down the routes you say many are involved in charities and helping especially children. So I find it hard to begrudge them the chance to do that.
