Yes, I definitely consider that sportspeople, especially footballers, are paid too much. Their salary is not equal to what the economy in the world is about. For example, in my country, there is this footballer called James Rodriguez. I'm not sure about how much his salary is, but what I know is that it's billions of dollars. When I compare it with the economy of Colombia, there are people who don't even have money for a bottle of water. So it's not fair that what others lack, like being able to afford their basic necessities, is so disproportionate. I understand that they have to follow a strict schedule and it's a really risky career. However, it's way too overrated. So, yeah.
