Thanks ed really appreciate it the players together I don't really understand what it's doing as everything I read is very vague and can be interpreted in many diffrent ways I hope this drives the wealthy to start to support the community however I suspect this will start and end with footballers which will be a shame.

{Ed001's Note - I think they are just donating money to the NHS charity they have name. An unspecified amount and it is not compulsory, so you will still have the usual selfish pricks giving nothing and taking. It is something, but hardly much for a bunch of multi-millionaires who spend most of their money on investing in get-richer quick schemes, because they have no idea what to do with it all. Some players already donate plenty and deserve everything they have, but most are paid ridiculously beyond what they deserve.}

What I find irritating is there are plenty of incredibly wealthy people in this country and yet the media isn't hounding them to suddenly donate large sums of money.

There are quite a few extremely charitable footballers who regularly donate large sums of money charity but because it doesn't get published by newspapers nobody knows.

I think it started when clubs furlough low paid workers and kept players on 100k+ a week no question it brought the spot light to them but hopefully the rich follow the example of the generous players.

Nevada - look at the average footballer - young, often from unprivileged backgrounds and most pertinently, didn’t receive higher education. Combine this with them playing a historically working class sport for a living, the idea that someone in these circumstances can become so wealthy dumbfounds many members of the media, many of whom graduated from elite universities after receiving similarly elite educating in earlier years.
Bottom line, in a market economy, a top tier footballer can be considered to be one of the most ‘skilled’ members of society (to use that awful word) .
