Do we need brain surgeons driving bentleys? Hell no! Should an African farmer be able to afford to drive the same kind of car as an African football super star? Hell yeah! |
I never got this argument
The premier League is watched by 100 million plus people around the world, and there are hundreds of millions of pounds at stakes. And the sucess is directly determined by those 11 people running around chasing a little ball.
You can't blame the players, if someone offered me a massive salary for doing something I enjoy
You cant blame the clubs owners who want to recruit the best to keep safe those millions of pounds.
You can't blame the TV companies who pay crazy money to get the rights to show the games as they know theres a world wide market and they can sell it on.
And You can't blame the fans for paying a very small amount each to enjoy something.
So what exactly is the problem?
