Yes, it’s also not so much about being overpaid but the attitude behind it.
Whenever a professional athlete fucks up/doesnt do their job properly enough, we hardly hear about it unless its been consistent for months and even then we’re told that “oh they’re just humans, cut them some slack” which is completely fair but we refuse to elevate the rest of the society’s working population to the same standards, you get chewed up and kicked out of your ‘much harder’ job for not doing it properly enough, reminds me of the infamous meme video wherein a Spanish guy is yelling at the players reminding them how privileged they are what kinda lifestyle they live yet fuck the easiest parts of their work up by missing 5 yard sitters, really puts things into perspective.
