Rejected petition Sports personalities pay

More details

The government critise business executives for high remuneration packages but does not make any reference to the excessive amounts of money paid to top sports personalities. If we are all in this together then sportsmen and women should also receive smaller pay packages.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The amounts paid to sports men and women is a matter for the individual governing bodies of each sport.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
