[Football] Is Football getting fair treatment?

In music and entertainment you can be average and make it much more easily (family connections etc). You can also dine out on a much longer time period (royalties).

I get your point. But what separates footballers from these other professions, in my view, is that football has huge sums sloshing around everywhere in the top flight. Even very average footballers, those knocking around in reserve teams or on the fringes of squads and youngsters with nothing but potential, earn life changing amounts. That doesn’t seem to be the case with acting or pop stars or F1. It makes the sport an easy target.

A bit of both. There is a real resentment of the money footballers earn in a way that doesn't seem to apply to entertainers or bankers etc. This is very much media driven and possibly class driven too? That said when you pay a couple of brasses to come round your house for a quick go don't be surprised if their first thought is to sell the story to the papers.....

Some players are so painfully stupid they really deserve the stick they get.
