Interesting point but if that were true why aren't they all walking around like they're film stars?

Never mind footballers, why should a film star act like a "film star"? They're only actors.
The culture of celebrity has led to whole groups of people thinking they are somehow above the rest, and sadly too many of the rest buy into the myth.
They're all just people.

Who do you blame, the people who make a fortune doing this or the thick, sad twats that follow every move they make on "reality TV" etc.
All you have to do is go to the pub or watch actual real people and it's much more interesting and educational.

Well..it has to be a mix doesn't it...the sad ****s who think they're are cool and the rest or us who think they're a car crash..it's all clicks to the publishers..

It's why I refuse to open anything with a Kardashian, Towie Chelsea thing story..it's a click and therefore encouragement.

Unless..it's a story about how they've been bottled to death...still praying for the beiber version of that story <laugh>

We want our football heroes to be idols we can admire and respect. Yet we don't want them to act like film stars, to behave as if they are nothing special and be part of us. But whose fault is it?

They earn many millions of pounds a year. Several times more than most people earn in their whole careers. Just like the film stars.

Every move outside the pitch is scrutinised. They are photographed constantly and they have many articles written about them. Just like film stars.

They earn millions outside the club commitments, endorsing products. Just like film stars.

Is right mate.

To be known as a celebrity you used to have to have a talent, these days many of the 'celebrities' are known for nothing other than being errrmmm celebrities. I'm thinking of no marks like Callum Best, Bianca Gascoigne and that ilk of twat. Then you've got the no mark reality stars, go jump off a ****ing cliff the lot of you.
