I'm writing this petition because its disgusting that footballers get grands a week for running up and down a field for 90 minutes yet soldiers risk there lives to protect our country and they get grands in a year!
There are firemen and police who risk their lives everyday and don't get paid enough. There are nurses who save lives everyday and don't get paid enough when it's them who are actually protecting us and getting no praise or attention. They are the real heroes!
