Messi 80 million a year.
Can't see what pay has to do with a perticular sport being better than another.
What is the difference between a teacher's salary compared to a librarian salary?
Most people who love the game play for pride more than money. Rugby league players would play in a state of origin game for nothing if they had the chance. The pride of pulling on a blues or maroons jumper is payment enough.
This bozo hasn't a clue. He seems determined however to make as big a fool of himself as he can. He's doing a good job so far.
Coach !! Must of been the biggest losing team in national history with him at the helm. I bet the team he coached never won a game. No wonder they kicked him to the kerb.
Originally posted by @eladar It also explains why the US athletes who play soccer and rugby are not the best athletes around.
All the real US athletes are making big money on their talents.

Any USA footballer if good enough will be paid a fortune in England Spain China etc.

Not fair but that's life. Wages mean nothing
Yes, US athletes who would otherwise make 30k per year would like to make 2 million a year for 5 years.
Making 30k gets you about 100 k every 3 years, so 30 years gives you one million dollars. They can make more in one year than working 60 years.

I rounded off, intentionally increasing the amount made in 3 years to demonstrate my point.
So was my point incorrect?
If not, you are just being an idiot to be an idiot.
Just take your shoes off next time. We'll wait the extra few minutes so we can get a correct answer (while holding our noses).
I thought you didn't like personal attacks. Here's me and Roma being nice and civil and you come in with the coward punches. You're not back home in Hootersville now sonny.
