I remember reading that at the end of their career, about a third of footballers hated the sport. Yes, it was a job.I don't blame any of them for thinking it's just a 'job' - I doubt shelf-stackers love ASDA, Tesco, etc either
They've been training since they were kids, and they have a tedious amount of training to do when they make it as professionals. Many end up with life time conditions which come later for many of us non-professional sports people. Sure, many get large wages but it's no surprise they treat like a job like we do with our work. It seems strange because most of us would give our left arm to play football.
