Why do footballers get paid so much?

Answer 1

They are great entertainers and brilliant inspirations (which is why the club gets so much money). They also get money for all sorts of advertisements, such as getting paid to wear new football boots, doing adverts on TV and posing in new football kit in shops.

Answer 2

They get paid so much because of the amount of money required to create a team and advertising pays the owners so much he actually has a couple of million dollars to throw around. So therefore they want to get the better player (so they got the best team and the owner gets a lots of prize money to his name) with skills, they got to loosen up their pockets then and spend lots of money

Answer 3

Not all footballers do. Some even pay to play(non pro) The best are hosehold names generating huge income for their clubs and sponsers. So they get their slice

Answer 4

In my opinion, they shouldn't ! Premiership footballers get paid more per game than some people (who do real jobs) earn in a year !
