Football Vs Soldiers

I think football players get paid way too much for what they do. They’re getting paid millions of pounds to kick a ball around a field, where as people who are risking their lives are getting paid a quarter of what football players earn. I think soldiers should get paid way more than football players because they could get killed and the worst a football player can get hurt is by breaking their leg and then staying out of play for a couple of seasons or maybe ruining their career, but they still can go on and become football managers. I do understand that the reason why footballers get paid so much has to do with the amount of sponsorship that the game has and I'm not saying that people don't enjoy the game I am just saying that they get paid way too much!  Also soldiers risk their lives in order to save our country and the people in it. Soldiers are also away from their families for a long time and do miss out on lots of important events in their families lives such as birthdays etc. Football players have all this money that they do not know what to spend it on sensibly and end up making bad decisions which end up in the news. Yes, some football players do give money to charity and  do alot for them but the amount of money in which they earn is ridiculous.
