Targeting the players here is an absolutely awful take. Many of them donate and do charitable work (Rashford has organised for 400k children to eat), and they can't simply agree to a pay cut without invalidating contracts etc. I'm sure something is being worked on behind the scenes.
If you absolutely have to scapegoat someone in football, make it the owners, as Milkman has said.
Indeed. Footballers are an easy target, just because they're paid market rates for being highly skilled at their jobs.
Why aren't agents being called out? They earn ludicrous sums for driving up those wages everyone is so up in arms about. Or investment bankers? Or hedge fund managers? Or lawyers? Or Hollywood actors? Or famous singers?
Why are footballers any more responsible for bailing people out than anyone else who earns big money?
Mino Raiola, the publicity hungry 'super agent', takes many millions per year out of the UK economy yet is based in Monaco so will be contributing bugger all to the public purse. He's even justified the huge sums he earns by saying "we don't live in a communist world" - there's someone right there who won't give a toss about non-playing staff being furloughed.
Hancock is a total arse for making players a scapegoat, especially when he's made a total pig's ear of testing our frontline NHS workers. Talk about a convenient smokescreen.
