Yeah f
k the footballers
I mean its not like a lot of them give up most of their childhood and dedicate years of their life to training for the slim chance they might be one of the best in the world is it? Or that even when they do make it they will be lucky to play past 35 due to the tolls it takes on their bodies, if they haven't had a career ending injury prior to that, fk em what right have they got to try and earn the best they can
We all know the truth, they sit around being lazy and then one day at about 18-19 a premier league manager will see em playing down the park and immediately sign them up for 30,000,000 pounds, anyone could do it but they preferred that job in IT instead

Context.
A footballer or his actions may be described heroic for making a substantial, game changing difference during a match. That is in the context of a game.
That is not to say it's comparable to someone doing something truly heroic in the context of life.
Sadly, you all too often when the good weather hits you see people drowning in an attempt to save others. People seem to forget that a couple of days heat doesn't significantly warm up large bodies of water.

Footballers get called heroes or described as being heroic often in the media. The OP is saying he doesn't think they are heroic especially compared with someone that puts themselves in danger for others.
I got the point, thanks very much, I just think that dragging the footballers into it is a bit pointless. Just commend the guy who sacrificed himself rather than making pointless points about footballers. Of course, that is what he gets for taking notice of the media, (who do it for many different people, not just footballers).10 Pence Short said:

I don't think they're doing it because the water is warm. In fact, it's the opposite; the water is still cool, and they are warm.iphonedyou said:

In fact, it's the opposite; the water is still cool, and they are warm.Large bodies of water can remain extremely cold, despite warm air temperatures. The shock to a very warm body when entering extremely cold water can be debilitating- enough to stop you being able to keep yourself above the surface.
What at first seemed like a great invitation to cool down can in fact be an invitation to end up dead.
Sadly it happens up here in the Lakes more often than it should.
