The outcome of giving your kids a soft life.
David Beckham was recently quoted saying this about his son Brooklyn:
“He shows no interest in working, yet he still had access to my card. I didn’t pay much attention to the charges until a $1,800 withdrawal appeared. When I looked into everything, I found he had spent more than $9,000 in a single week on designer clothes and various luxury items. I immediately contacted my team and froze the card. After that, I cut off his access to my accounts.”
Loool I recall a man paying me for a dj set who had £200k+ in his (2021)
He was 29 at the time and owned six 5 bedroom detached houses. I only found out because I asked him where he rented the yard we were in from - he looked disgusted and his friend said he owned it and 5 more
Messi-biased and I forever will be but the comparison is highly insulting to him.
Many a sane mind clocked it over a decade ago. The gap was never close. People fed into the marketing & whatever identity loving Ronaldo gave them - removed all common sense from their minds.
Same reason female models get paid more… you generate more money 🙄
Steph Houghton has spoken out on the commercial pay gap between England's men's and women's sides:
"When I looked at what they [England's men] were getting for commercial deals, that really opened my eyes. The men and women play for the national teams of the same country and yet they're getting 15 times more than us. How is that fair?"
Same badge, same shirt, and a 15x difference in what the deals pay. Its a conversation that splits rooms thats for sure...
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The revenue of the men's football game in England is almost $12 billion while the women's division generates $120 million, about 1% of the men, so a 1/15th pay gap is beneficial for women compared to revenue share.
