I don’t think so. Generally, football players are paid higher than any other sports such as golf, volleyball, and baseball. However, the length of their career can be ended just around the half past 30s except Goalkeepers. In addition, it is said that the peak of their career is around 28. I hope that many football players get good salary and should be ensured their career after they retired.

English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!
Yuki,
ReplyDeleteTimely opinion and it is true that a sportsman/woman's career can be ended permanently, prematurely. Note how many top players are missing in action in South Africa.
