minus-squareporcoesphino@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-23 days agoA friend shared this a month or so ago and I haven’t been able to check how accurate it is but apparently its soccer player wages in 1999: That was a lot of money at the time, but even adjusting for inflation it really doesn’t seem to be the fuckoff money they get now Edit: I read these as annual but leaving this here to showcase my folly

minus-squareWideEyedStupid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 days agoHa, it happens! Always read the fine print. ;)
minus-squareporcoesphino@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days agoYeah, so that’s probably about 5-10 million pounds annually today? So they’re earning 10 or so times that amount now but its still very much fuckoff money
