Drives me crazy they report athlete wages by the weekly pay. Like bro just give the annual number im not trying to do math. I just imagine Premier league players waiting in line at the bank on Friday trying to cash their weekly wage checks
Do they get paid in the off-season, or are there a set number of paid weeks per year?
No it's shamefully only a meager 50.000.000 a month during the active season when they are not off. /j
I have no idea! Their pay is so mysterious over there. Plus they usually only report the transfer fee which the teams just pay each other that doesn't involve the players salary at all lol. It's pretty wild I like to think I'm above average soccer enjoyer but I never really dug deep into how they get paid.
NFL contracts are easy to understand. Player signs for x amount guaranteed with x amount in incentives. Boom that's it. You're done you know what they get paid if they play all the games or none of the games.
At least for footballers they got paid at the start of the season AFAIK.
