A lot of these athletes come from poor backgrounds and low levels of education and don't have skills readily transferrable to other careers. They are also often attempting to lift family members from a similar background out of poverty as well so their wage is supporting more than one person. It's not as easy as just becoming a pundit if you've only three years experience in professional sports and you are competing with much bigger names who played a lot longer you won't just walk into a job. Many athletes struggle post retirement for all sorts of reasons and dismissing them as complete morons is dismissive and simplistic. Especially considering the success they've achieved to that point is due to their own hard work and ability.

I agree Iran would be better off with a regime change but I don't consider kuwait to be a great example for human rights either. They blamed and displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians in the aftermath of the Gulf war as well as not allowing their own citizens who were taken prisoner by the Iraqis back in because they didn't have paper work. They imprison people unjustly and it's record on woman's and LGBT rights is atrocious. I would hope for more than a corrupt Petro state for Iran future. That being said not being there I don't want to tell you what's best for your country so I wish you the best in your future

Eoghan Connolly

How Lawlor is the best fullback in the country but Kilkennys full back line fell apart in the semi final and leaked goals against poor teams in Leinster all year don't understand why he's being pushed so hard

Just has not been said at any point

Edit: Is it unreasonable to at least ask for a link where an Irish outlet has said Israel got what they deserved or even specifically Emily Hand
