" Football are they paid way over the top, now the sport is played by overpaid prima-donnas" This is always a huge misconception : in the Premier League and to an extent the Championship this might be true, but from League 1 down football is played by, and enjoyed by, literally millions who are anything but over paid prima-donnas! | |||

"Does making a sport professional ultimately spoil it? Think about this, athletics would there be as much drug abuse in the sport if it was amateur? Football are they paid way over the top, now the sport is played by overpaid prima-donnas" Rugby union and athetics and other sorts weren't amature. The only difference was they didn't pay tax it was all backhanders... | |||

" yeh I’d agree with this, but it makes my point, the top level is way to highly paid, footballers earning £300,000 a week is obscene | |||

"That’s a reasonable point, but I’m using footballers as an example of how money corrupts the game.. the professional sportsman doesn’t care about who he plays for, he’s a mercenary that’s all" in your opinion? do you realise people cheat at amateur level too? | |||

Football are they paid way over the top, now the sport is played by overpaid prima-donnas" Lots of drugs used in amature sport some gyms are rife with it so its nothing to do with professionals. As for what they are paid well its what someone is prepared to pay them to do a job same as in any job really. I know if my boss said here is another 2 million a year I wouldn't be saying no thanks. | |||

"Unfortunately there are a lot of drug problems in amateur sport, especially rugby union and league. Professional sport is essentially a vehicle for advertising and a very efficient way of taking money from the poor, always amuses me when people moan about the price of tickets and replica kits as if they are essential to life " i find that comment offensive. taking money from the poor??? really mate come on!  | |||
