Why is it always Premier League footballers who get singled out? To hear the Health Secretary Matt Hancock call on players to ‘play their part’ really got my back up. I understand he was responding to a question under pressure and I would like to think that if he had time to think about his answer he wouldn’t have marginalised footballers in such a public way.
Premier League stars have a stigma. Whenever there is a story about a player it always comes with the word ‘millionaire’ or says how much they get paid a week.
