Rejected petition Footballers getting paid more than Lifesavers is bad

More details

I , and many others across the UK, want Footballers to pay the tax of half their monthly salary, as people who save lives like Doctors and Fire fighters, get paid a lot less than Footballers, who get paid hundreds more for only entertaining people.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This is a matter for the FA, Premier League and Football League.

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