I don't think the it's all because of betting.
Celebrity culture is another major factor. Players are now becoming famous for being famous soccer players, like the Kardashians. It's irrelevant if they can play or not.
How many followers you have on Instagram is now more important than how many goals you score.
- dylan604 5y agoName a famous footballer that cannot play. The comparisons to the Kardashians is quite a stretch.
- majani 5y agoYeah, I can only remember Rashford and Lingard trying that approach earlier in their careers but they quickly stopped it once their performance quality dipped
- dylan604 5y agoIt's not like either of them have been well managed the past few seasons. They were skilled enough to catch the attention that brought them to where they are. Maybe they focused too much on the attention and less to what got the attention in the first place. That's unfortunately part of the gaffer's job to manage the players off the field as much as the tactics on the field.
