رحاب الملائكي

We never cease to learn for as long as we exist in this life. These are my thoughts and contemplations in diaspora هذه بعض من خواطري في أرض المهجر, أُعبّر بها عن بعض ما نعيشه و نعانيه من بُعد و حنين و شوق للاوطان. خواطري أنا رحاب الملائكي

Who would you like to pay more, a footballer or your hospital doctor?

In this world we live in:

Premiership footballers get paid £150,000 - weekly!

The most senior of doctors get paid £120,000 - annually!

In a world that footballers get paid in a week much more than what senior hospital consultants get paid in a whole year, there has to be something that has gone terribly wrong!!

No wonder there are more hungry and homeless people in the world than there have ever been before!

Do footballers deserve this much? Why?

What is it that they contribute to society that makes them so special?

In other words: What can go wrong in the world if all the footballers were to disappear tonight?

Will people die, starve, or become homeless??

NO! No Way.

The truth is: it is our ignorance and stupidity that those footballers and their managers prey on. We have got our priorities completely mixed up. The majority of us are so superficial that their main interest is to spend their money on watching football matches and attending celebrity festivals. We don't seem to want much to do with education, law, science, or medicine!

Until such a time that we start properly valuing our scientists, teachers and doctors, who do truly contribute a huge deal to society, the world will continue to remain a mad place that is destined to a catastrophic end.

In my view, a universal cap of £50,000 annually should be the maximum amount a footballer can earn. the rest of the money should be paid as tax, to be used to support education, health, and charitable projects.

AND,

What goes for footballers should also be applied for singers, actors and their likes.

The world will then become a much better place..

  1. nothing wrong the value of someone is how much he /she can make money a footballer can make millions to the team in a week but how much a doctor can make a week a doctor can make inly the number of patients multiplied with the cost so if he can see 30 a week and he charge a 40$ so it will be 1200$ a week not much. but if a doctor invented a new drug or a new some thing then he will be rich other wise he is doing what he is doing not to get money but to help people. but a footballer is doing what he is doing to Entertain people not to help them so he get a lot of money.
