What the petition asks
The England Football team earns roughly £2,002,096 a week in wages.. to get destroyed by Iceland who earns an extremely small fraction compared. Why are our Footballers getting paid this much? Let's limit them & give £103,861,992 a year to our NHS instead? They might play properly then, win win.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
