So are you suggesting that ony intelligent people should be allowed to earn high wages? Some would say entertainment is very important in life as well and football is one way of entertainment that a lot of people enjoy, so you could say it is just as important.

If people are willing to pay whats the problem? I'm happy paying the subscription for sky sports, as many others are. People aren't forced to buy merchandise or subscribe to sky or go to matches, they do it because they want to, and that is where the majority of money in football is from.
