Quote: lefty goldblatt "They've got their multi-millions by being damned good at what they do
Take away the sponsorship deals of the really decent golfers, most pro-golfers don't earn that much.
And don't forget (bar sponsorship), golfers AREN'T paid. They earn. (1)
If footballers play crap, they still walk away with tens of thousands PER WEEK. (2)
If golfers play crap, they go home on a Friday night, with nowt.
If they play crap for a season, they lose their "card", and go back to flogging Mars bars and golf gloves at their own course. (3)
Yes, fantastic golfers get paid extremely well, but the majority earn the amounts of a Championship 2 footballer (4)
I imagine you wont feel any affinity to people who get paid a quarter of a million pounds per year to pass a rugby ball, in the name of YOUR geographical region, on Saturday night, eh, Mr Cynical? (5) '"
If I need to de-contruct your ramble (maybe as an exercise in helping you contructing a written response)
1) What is the difference between being paid and earn?
2) I never mentioned footballers, you did.
3) They don't lose their card - it's not as simple as you make it seem. I am friends with a European tour journey man.
4) Championship footballers. I refer you to 2).
5) I will feel affinity to the Wire winning but I'm confused my post was I don't feel any affinity to Ryder Cup golfers but then you went off on one widening the argument to football, rugbyleague, the difference bewteen earning and being paid. Then your subsequent post showed your intellect for what it is.
