A Battle of Wages

This topic was on Twitter a few weeks back, where people were saying to Michael Owen how footballers earn on obscene amount of money. Personally, I think this is true in respect to the average working person.

I'm not entirely sure how the discussion about a footballer's wage came up, but Michael argued his case very well. Because football is such a well known sport, most don't take into account the other extremely high paid sports. There are (I know the article is 2 years old: http://www.sticksports.com/community/blogs/mute/top-10-highest-paid-sports-553/) 5 sports where, on average, the players/participators earn more than footballers.
