Are footballers paid too much?

<p>In this episode Jake and Ant explore what it means to be overpaid - both from an economic and moral perspective. Particularly, footballers are considered in the context of essentially being entertainers. In it, you'll get a potted history of how footballers went from earning £1 a week to over £300k, an original take on the footballers v nurses debate and a look at what happened to the Gunnersaurus. </p><p>If you'd like to support the show, check out our Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/moedt</p><p><strong>References from the episode:</strong></p><p>For more information about Treepoints, visit <a href="https://treepoints.green"><em>https://treepoints.green</em></a></p><p>The Peter Crouch podcast's<a href="https://twitter.com/petercrouchpod/status/1270640662023733248?lang=en"> Roy Keane photos</a></p><p><a href="https://www.90min.com/in/posts/sevilla-announce-shock-capture-of-arsenal-mascot-gunnersaurus-01ekyk48fvda">Seville's capture of the Gunnersaurus</a></p><p><a href="https://www.acquired.fm/">The Acquired Podcast</a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/Benioff/status/549339156854214656/photo/1">The shareholders cartoon</a></p><p><br></p>--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/moedt/message <p>If you'd like to listen ad-free (on any podcast app) and support us as creators, become a member for as little as $2 per month at: <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://plus.acast.com/s/moedt">https://plus.acast.com/s/moedt</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
