I think it's hilarious how the haters look for every footballer indiscretion and make them into monsters for not being role models, but leave all the drug addled, adulterating barely literate "musicians" well alone.
They also suggest a player who spends all of their prime years training their arses off, watching what they eat and, for the highest paid at least, being careful what they get up to, doesn't deserve it.
Yet an actor or musician that does fuck all most of the time, has a team if creative people doing their work for them do little for their fans etc never get questioned.
I'd be interested to know if this is just a British thing. I seem to sense a growing resentment to the haves from the have-nots.
