As Britain pledges £5,000,000 to aid the Nepal earthquake appeal, my immediate reaction was to think how paltry that amount seems by comparison with the obscene money paid for professional footballers; £88,000,000 for a British player, for example. Without in any way criticising the UK government's decision, there is something not quite right, here, IMHO.
Here is a list of the top-twenty young earners in British sport. It's dominated by footballers and it begs the question, "What sort of society values sportsmen (and footballers, in particular) more highly that any single member of the medical profession?"
