You get paid those amounts when you’ve reached the very top level of the sport like Laporte has. As a professional athlete you sacrifice your youth and all the pleasures that everyone else enjoys, that’s just making it as a professional, we’re not talking about making it to the very top of the sport like Laporte has. I’m not discrediting professors, lawyers, doctors or any other profession, it all takes sacrifice but they don’t have to give up half of what these top tier professional athletes have to.
I have a lot of friends in football from some of the biggest names, world champions and squad players to those who haven’t even broken through yet, compare Laporte to the average footballer and you’ll see a huge difference, not just in accomplishment but in worth ethic, discipline, mindset, character. He’s a top level athlete and that’s what top level athletes get paid today because of the multi billion dollar revenues in sport but don’t ever forget, he’s human first.
@GNev2 You’ll never win anything when you got a forward trio of Rashford, Sancho and Garnacho. Three of the biggest clowns in the game. If it was about who had the most swag and drip in a nightclub, they’d probably win.
@footballtweet Lewandowski was robbed. There’s no argument. It’s unfortunate that Henry had to play both, The Champions League Final and the World Cup final with a man down. Zidane let him down with his irresponsible and poor behaviour otherwise it would have been his, it should have been.
