I'm not saying that top bankers don't deserve the money they get or that it's easy, i'm just comparing the amount they earn, which is similar to top football players, but the fact it isn't scrutinised as much even though they are both highly skilled proffesions.

I base my opinion on the fact that I have run large departments in multi-national companies, and my brother played professional football, and we have discussed and compared the differences and similiarities, and the values/benefits thereof.

I've answered your question - it would be nice / polite if you answered mine (since I asked first); what do you base your opinion on?
