Football like many financialised areas are a playground for rich people to funnel their money into, avoid taxes and have some fun with their wealth which is why we see things like player transfers of over 100 million pounds Do you know how many lifetimes I would need to live to work as I do now to see earn that much money? This is a sign of money dying when it’s wasted on things like this! How much productivity do soccer players really add to the economy? They purely for entertainment purposes yes you can say they bring income for the clubs but that’s not the point they don’t PRODUCE anything that helps the economy near as much to command those fees This is a gross missallocation of capital and people celebrate and demand it! How much good could that money have done in the world besides making a few clubs, club owners, agents and players rich
