Top Salaries.

In the news today there are comments made on a senior executive's pay which is just over £500k annually.

I am in no position to comment as to how meritworthy or not this may be. (Even so, others are unafraid to turn him into a clear target.)

My problem here is rather that this salary represents less than a month's pay for a whole clump of Premiership Football players.
Why is it that leftist football fans are so painfully slow to criticise these salaries but are so happy to attack those of people who may well have made/saved millions for their particular firm?
