All to often you see in the papers footballers getting hailed as heroes for winning some cup.

Or some guy sails a boat around the world aslo gets hailed as a hero

I have been reading the Sun the last few days and they seem to call the soldiers brave instead of heroes.

surly some tosser who runs around a pitch for 90 mins isn't a hero?

or they will have a 2 pager about that knob rash Jack Tweedy about how he is going to cope in prison and then you just get small half page about what soldiers are coming home or are being deployed

I'm not even a soldier and it does annoy me at time, am I alone or do other people feel like this?
 
Yes. They are not. They have not risked their lives to save someone. They have not fought a dangerous action on the battlefield
They have not campaigned to right an injustice in spite of opposition.
They have just play a blasted game of football for which they have been very well paid
 
i suppose they are hero's in the sense that they inspire so many kids to get into sports and stuff but i would still agree that they are overrated and that a soldier should be hailed as more of a hero as a footballer or sports star
