re: Why does society perceive playing football earns the right of payment?

Bc I produce a product businesses are willing to hire me for.

BUT I understand the risk involved in my job.

Players play for the potential of making money later, but they disregard the risk of playing. They act like they deserve money, buts not the circumstances that they are agreeing upon when signing up to the play. That was my point.

Sure, I could try to play football to maybe make it big, but I could also be a cripple at 33. VS learning another trade and putting my mind to work.

That is a decision we all need to make..
