Yep... can't agree more Martin...

Status: offline 		There are generally the same complaints about "overpaid" professional athletes in most sports, in most countries.  The way I look at it, they are only overpaid if the fans, advertisers, television broadcasters, and personal endorsement contracts are not willing to spend that much money on them anymore.  When that happens, the market will correct itself, and salaries will come down.  That is the way of free enterprise, and I don't begrudge athletes earning the most they can.  We may individually value the skills they have more or less, depending on our personal interests, but they have a marketable skill and there are few who have that level of skill/talent.  IMO, there are individuals within a sport who are overpaid, but only relative to others in the same sport, based on their contributions. 

I do have plenty of problems with athletes who do not appreciate what they have, but that's an entirely different problem.

funny....was thinking the same thing as i watched the ending of the game at my pub. Saw the Red Card incident.

The US would have won too!.........but their players were at low power at the time of the penalty shoot.

Over paid athlethes? Well , considering that they are destroying their bodies for our amusement, and don't have that many years to earn a lifetimes salary , I'm not that bothered. But sport clubs/teams that shake down their home cities for new stadiums, and other "sweetheart" concessions, with no garuentee of a fixed term to play in that stadium, there I have a problem. Governments, small and large , should stay out of sports.

That was due to being in the landing pattern and having their gear down (if you know what I mean, hurhur)...

The latest theory is that the world is round, and seasonally tilts on it's axis. I am on the bottom of the world, and tilted away (which is normal for me) down hear. So at present I am further away from the sun than you, and hence cooler.

Hope that helps you out there 'T', but forgive me as I sometimes forget that a lot of you Northerners are 'Flat-Worlders'.

Anathema !! The world is flat(ulent). You, sir, are obviously a secular humanist, waiting your turn with The Inquisition. Bring out the Comfy Chair !!

The Inquistion, what a show
The Inquistion, here we go
We know you're wishing
That we'd go awaaaay
But the Inquistion's here, and it's here to stay
The Inquistion, oh boy
The Inquistion, what a joy
The Inquistion, oy oy

Question; What is the modern definition of the Inquisition?



Answer; The News of the World (or it was).
