Footballers

Over paid and over rated
over sexed and disgraced

Role models? cheating on their wives.
they get paid an sickening amount of money for kicking around a ball.

Racism and swearing, and think their above the law.

Ryan Giggs now don't get me started.  The youth of today all want fame as Jessie j stated 'it's all about the money money!

Football in my opinion it's overrated.  Not like back in the day when it was for the love of the game not the fame.

I completely agree with less people play for the love of the game. I am a football player myself. P.S. by any chance do you go to wolfson high school. My name is Emmanuel Johnson. I just left there this past year and I had a friend named Yasmin
