Rejected petition Slash the amount of money footballers receive

More details

Why do footballers get paid the amount they do?
They get paid more money than they have sense, and for what? Kicking around a ball!
How is the amount of money justified?
Do they really deserve this amount of money, and earn every penny of it?
I want the government to look into there annual salary, and justify the amount they get paid.
If the amount that one premier league footballer was paid weekly was given towards poverty, it would certainly minimise child starvation etc
