[gmenfan40]

Imagine making almost a billion dollars for being really good at kicking a ball. Mind is blown.

[Trillhouse]

[Celsus]

I love football, I am a fan of both Messi and Barca

But it's is absolutely disgusting how much money these people are making

[Swept]

Someone translate to American



Don’t these guys pay over 50% in taxes

Imagine making almost a billion dollars for being really good at kicking a ball. Mind is blown.

Imagine getting paid literally billions (Epstein) to larp as a pimp for rich ped0 brahs.

[Ch1pChipperson]

Are contracts not public in soccer? North American sports they are public

[ErnieMccracken]

Does he have to pay taxes on that?

[Vhagar]

all for a sport that was created for european ladies to keep busy while their husbands did the cooking.

Lmao

[Liberal3lite]

It's reasons like this why so many frustrated people start supporting socialism/communism.

[ErnieMccracken]

and the funny thing is he's already been evading taxes and was implicated in the 'panama papers' leak

Yeah. people getting paid the GDP of poor African nations to kick an orb filled with air around a patch of grass, while people starve to death.

We as a race deserve to be wiped out Independence Day style.

[Tears]

which sport is that?

[cazzo1]

Ronaldo >> Messi

[Uhyeahokay]

No wonder they are nearly bankrupt.

[NLnemesis]

138 a season + all those signing and loyalty fee's are more than the 555m
please do your math again op

Edit: btw messi deserves every penny of that salary, he's basically carried barca and their chit transfers for the last 5 years

[AncientYouth]

honestly the lack of basic intelligence in here is staggering,

no one pays these players what they earn because they like them ( or any sport), they pay them because they make loads of money for the clubs they play for , they bring in success, fans, merch etc etc

why do you think boxers get paid up to 100million for a fight, they generate income

its simple supply and demand


and don't kid yourself Football is THE World Sport, most money, most fans most widespread ..nothing else comes close


much jealousy

It's that sport where a bunch of ****s kick a ball around.

You have to be a real cuck to support athletes making so much money. The world is in a mess bro and people are waking up. Don't be on the wrong side.

[ProSaibot]

Ronaldo >> Messi

lol. Ronaldo has the better career now, but Messi overall has more of the natural talant - especially in his peak he was a brutal. Ronaldo earner his place by hard work though. I would put them equally great.
