Any monkey can be taught to perform tricks

But what entitles these monkeys to such ridiculous amounts of money?
So what? They can kick a ball around, since when was that more worthwhile than being a doctor or a teacher (or any other respectable profession)?
I think its disgusting that footballers should be paid such unreasonable amounts as they are being. They only have to kick a ball around for a few hours a week and get paid more than people who train hard for half their life and then work unbelievable hours just to scrape through. AND THEN THEY ARE IDOLISED! These people don't have a care in the world. They can buy any trouble away and they still get worldwide recognition as though they are freaking heroes!
I think that it shouldn't even be classed as a profession, it should be something that is only played in their spare time. If Football was taken back to basics things would be a lot better. Money shouldn't even come into it. Take Chelsea and Roman Abramovich for example. The Russian billionaire probably only knows one thing; with his money he can buy the best team out there. Personally I think that concept takes the fun out of the game.
They certainly shouldn't be celebrities. They haven't done anything. In any other society they would be shunned.
Here is one possible situation:
[David Beckham is kicking a Pepsi can around]
Slave master: Big deal, born with the talent to kick things, now go back to your menial labour you pathetic grunt!
David Beckham: Sorry, (and other intelligible monkey noises).
Slave master: Don't do it again you worthless piece of crap!
It really isn't that impressive. Think about it seriously.
Nearly every kid when asked what they want to be say 'a pro footballer', do you think they would want to do it if it wouldn't earn them so much money. I would say probably yes because its something they can enjoy.
So professional footballers get paid appalling amounts of money for doing something they would do for nothing. Makes sense yeah, next they will pay people to play PC games and tell people about them (oh wait, they already do).
341 monkeys were enjoying themselves until they got their football stuck up a tree.
