You're missing the point
The salary is obscene, because the numbers poured into the sport are obscene
The people losing out are the spectators, the real fans, as they sit by and watch the stupid amounts of advertising revenue, TV revenue fuelled on advertising revenue and the neuveau billionaire elite washing their money and ego's in public.
And everyone ignores the fact that the soul of the game is being murdered along with the souls of the spectators.
But hey, 5 American food and beer giants got their screen time....... everyone laughed when the WC was in the US and the TV companies wanted the game broken in to quarters
won't be long
and no it still isn't right that someone playing a game gets that amount in an annual salary
not when nurses, doctors and medical teams get by on the minimum, for doing work that benefits society
not when firemen have to take a second job, but still have to walk into the twin towers to save lives
not when the police are everyones punchbag but everyone complains when they are robbed or beaten.
No - the money in the sport should fund social causes, not making a tiny amount of people obscenely rich, because they are better at games.
