Women's football 08:53 - Aug 30 with 648 views | Catullus | Good luck to the Welsh women against England, c'mon you Dragonesses. A stat read out on the Welsh news today, apparently 88% of women footballers in England earn less than 80k per year. Now I've watched womens games and the quality is really poor by comparison but, you can't fault their heart, desire and determination. Even better they don't roll around like a bunch of wimps when fouled, they don't go down (like a sniper got them) at the merest touch and some of the tackling is vicious. My point is, at 50-80k per year, are they underpaid or paid just about right? When you look at people like Ronaldo and Messi, they get about that much per day, which is ridiculous, right? | |
