Stu, standpoints on this tend to reflect whether you like football or not. You're doing what I said is unfair, tarring the whole sport with the same brush you use to tar the overpaid, overprivileged FEW (out of millions). I'm a bit surprised that you employ just one egregious example of bad behaviour by a WAG to support your case. Professional football, especially the Premier League, is a highly-capitalistic enterprise. It works very much on a supply and demand model. It raises huge sums from selling television rights. That's the way of the world. Actually, some money does trickle down, nowhere near enough I admit. Same with pop music and those ghastly celebs who infest our Saturday nights, the likes of Graham Effin' Norton and Simon Cowell. Same with Andy Murray and the Williams sisters. Same with anyone who's good at making a fast buck. Until some wise deity sweeps it all away we're stuck with it. And a lot of people are made very happy, whether you and I think any of it is worthwhile or not. In spite of the wages and the dodgy personalities of a few of the players and managers, football at the highest level is a lovely, intricate and highly skilled game to watch. Standards have never been higher in terms of tactics, pace, individual skill and stamina. Of course, if you don't like footie all that will wash over you. Your choice. Just remember that football, whether on the telly or in a stadium, is an chillout outlet for thousands of people every week. While you're watching football you're not blowing up cars in Turkey or dropping barrel bombs on Syrian civilians.
