Stuart Broad sorry for minimum wage Twitter comment - 1shanemarsh - 01-27-2015
England fast bowler Stuart Broad has apologised after making comments about the UK minimum wage on Twitter.
The 28-year-old tweeted: "I've heard if you earn minimum wage in England you're in the top 10% earners in the world. ."
Broad, who is in Australia on England duty, deleted the message after angry replies from some Twitter users.
Broad then posted: "No offence meant and sorry if any taken. The hashtag was aimed at myself."
The Nottinghamshire seamer is due to face India in the tri-series in Sydney on Friday.
In another post, he wrote: "Clarifying my earlier tweet, I merely wanted to emphasise my amazement at just how big the world is."

Another upper middle class snob telling the working classes they should be thankful for what they've got. Oh dear.

he should try living on minimum wage and donate rest of his earnings to charity.
