Thought that our other global superstar deserved her own thread, as Morgan might be making her debut in WSL on Sunday against €iteh...
Amazon must be gutted they don’t still have cameras in the dressing room!If Alex Morgan is being roasted by the Spurs squad, can I buy tickets?

Female footballers get paid a relative pittance and Morgan’s weekly wage is barely £6K per week (just above average for League One men) according to Forbes.For research into a representative of the club I love I checked out her Instagram. There is barely a post on it that isn't sponsored in some way. #monetize.
Morgan is the lone non-tennis player to crack the top ten, thanks to a massive endorsement portfolio worth ten times as much as her roughly $400,000 on-field salary and bonus last year. She has more than a dozen current sponsors, including Nike, Coca-Cola, Volkswagen and AT&T. Her latest is an Alex Morgan Barbie Doll, as part of the brand’s Role Model Series.

So (much like Jessica Ennis) I can’t blame Morgan for endorsing whatever pays well whilst she remains one of the most marketable faces in the sporting world.

I agree with what you say regarding endorsements - making hay while the sun shines etc etc. Nonetheless, £6k per week sounds extremely good money to me. I have been shot at for a lot less!Female footballers get paid a relative pittance and Morgan’s weekly wage is barely £6K per week (just above average for League One men) according to Forbes.

Or tight shorts. Blatter knew.If female footballers want to earn more money they need to fill out stadiums and get fans watching on tv in greater numbers then for just one off games.
For that to happen it would take a generation of women to turn their back on brick reality tv shows and checking Facebook every ten minutes. If that happened I would be personally delighted.
Good luck to Morgan and the womens team, if they are successful it means the world is a slightly better place to be in.
@stratnumberone intimated that he's been in the forces. I'd say his experience in terms of career longevity is probably fairly similar!It's not a lot for a career where you have 10 to 15 years at the top and then need to find another job and start from the bottom again
Either that or a particularly dangerous circus ;-)@stratnumberone intimated that he's been in the forces. I'd say his experience in terms of career longevity is probably fairly similar!

Loves herself.
Another of those women wanting to be seen as strongly blazing the trail, empowering women, inspiring youngsters.
