ESPN spitting fax👀
Yea uh, the players need to make a stand. Otherwise there will be more and more tournaments. It sucks, but they are the only ones that can stop this.
Oh purrrleeaaassseee. Footballers are the most oberpampered, overpaid, spoilt brats in the world of entertainment, besides actors. They get paid when they are injured, get paid when they are sick, get paid when they cant be bothered turning up for training,for a couple of hours a day. Think of the poorly paid staff behind the scene before you start crying about footballers
If footballers agree to give up a percentage of their ridiculous wages then sure, otherwise they shouldn’t complain too much.
Give them less money that will humanise them
If only they were paid for this sacrifice
Has anyone ever heard of rotating players during games? Or what if you used the whole squad instead of playing 11 guys always?
I know…This sounds like madness and super revolutionary. Genius-like ideas here.
“Products” like they aren’t paid millions a year and won’t retire at 40 with enough wealth for 5 generations lol, fuck outta here with this nonsense.
Galatasaray and Fenerbahce will be playing their league derby on December 24 and the league’s Super Cup game will be played on December 29. This is after both teams’ exhausting schedule filled with European matches. Okan Buruk (Gala manager) brought up in one his post game conferences that this busy schedule does nothing but wears down players. Both clubs have important players playing for their countries as well. They basically get no break. The congestion in the schedule truly is awful.
Okay. Then pay them like human beings
Is this thread being astroturfed wtf… taking wages away from players would most likely mean that more profits go to owners or companies worth billions. Rotating a player for a meaningless game won’t drop revenues by any significant amount
Capitalism ruins everything
Not the players bank accounts
True to a degree but also they are not paid on a peer game basis. So these organizations can keep adding additional games and the players will see no wage increase. Not that I know of anyway but I’m not totally sure

socialism isn’t any better
let’s start paying them like 99.9% of humans then.
Can the footballer not say he doesn’t want to play this week or that week?
I’m sure there are stats to show he’s fatigued, tired, and prone to injury
They do, but sometimes the manager doesn’t really have a choice. I think it’s considered unprofessional if a player without injuries turns down the opportunity to play.
Can’t believe ESPN said something smart for once.
With the shit load of money they make the demands and expectations increase. I have sympathy for an athletes’ schedule. This is also quite ironic coming from an entity that is solely reliable on the product.
