"Heroes"
Sportsmen/women,Footballers especially, being described by the Press as 'heroes'.

No you're frigging not.

Heroes are people who do something ridiculously brave, they are not staggeringly overpaid primadonnas who run around a field kicking a ball.

'Champions', yes, that'd be a good description. 'Rather good' is a bit understated, but very British. 'Heroes' you are not, and when the Press, and not just the tabloids, describe you as such then I have this sudden desire to shove one of your celebrity-endorsed studded boots up your arse.

To have people whose likely biggest peril is being tripped up by someone, or spraining their ankle*, described in the same way as a 19 year old in Afghanistan doing something unbelievabley dangerous** while earning less in a year than some of these twats do in a day makes me despair.

Heroes? Bollocks.





*yes I know they sometimes hurt themselves more seriously but no-one is actively trying to shoot them.Pity.

**on your behalf, voters of Britain. Or rather on behalf of your elected*** representatives.

***degrees of 'elected' may vary.

This^^
Celebrities and sports personalities are over-rated, while real people who do really important jobs are under-rated.
