Price of Premiership’s Wealth

Rich footballers are prominence for their obsession of spending their money for something lavish. They buy luxurious house, mansion and even the whole block of apartment just for fun. Their ride? Never fail to make me deem in complete jealousy. Aston Martin Vanquish, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Diablo Roadster, just to name a few and enough to make me drooling. And, enough to hook any hot chicks around.

Besides, they are high rollers too and most casino in England would prefer their customers to be the footballers simply because there are rich. Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney are two of many English footballers who got hooked on gambling, and there were not talking few hundreds, but millions of pounds. But, there are Premier League player for god sake, their weekly earning is worth the earning of whole Selangor team for 3 years!

On a completely unrelated note, they suffer a walloping addiction too. Internet-porn addiction. Soccernet dishes on the abuses of players’ wealth to buy hi-tech powerful laptop to get themselves online to visit porn site and addicted to it.

“It becomes a problem when he is doing it 14, 15, 16 times and then when he stops, he is playing a football game and he is thinking `I can't wait to get back to that site'.”

And again, akin to the casino owner, porn-site owner also have a preference to have footballers to be their customers, simply because they have cash in their pockets.

“On porn websites you have got advertisements for the porn and you end up spending more money on there. It's kind of like kids in a sweet shop”

Disciplinary problems, hooliganism and unsportsmanlike behavior are just some of the setbacks English football face supplementary to cash wasting among its footballers. No wonder their performance at the international level is in downward spiral. Spoilt brat, aren’t they?
