I think a Big Problem with many professional sports is that the sporting side
has been lost. It is all about money with a few people at6 the top getting
enormous salaries while others lower down the pecking order get little or
nothing. I don't think that is healthy for any sport. It also brings in the
possibility
I think you're confusing sports with entertainment. In the U.S. this is all
entertainment,and it works the way. Big draws make big money; In the movies, the
big stars make a lot; the people with minor roles are paid far less. Ditto
television. Even in TV news, the anchors get millions and the independent
reporters in the field receive a pittance.
"Sport" has nothing to do with it whatsoever, no matter what the booboisie would
like to think or what the promoters pretend it to be.
Cheers,
