Rejected petition cut footballers wages to go in line with the average persons wage and get rewarded if they win

More details

Why do proffessional footballers deserve to be earning such high wages most people have to work hard all year to get what they receive in a week. It should be capped at a low amount and if they win they get a bonus. Then maybe the England football team might actually put some effort into winning something for their country.
