why are footballers paid so much
Poll
Do you footballers should get so much
"The average wage for Premier League players last season was £2.4m, according to a report from Sporting Intelligence. That equates to £46,000 a week, more than the average UK worker earns in a year"

Supply and demand. People are prepared to pay the salaries.

Because the commercialization in all parts of the world and the numbers of influence investors increased the last decade rapidly. Football is more than merely a sport, it is a business, it is merchandising - and the death of this popular sport.
By the way, I will move it to Football forum, because another football fans would like to discuss to.

The television rights were sold for £4.464bn to show PL games. Add in the £5-10m in advertisers/designers paying to be on kits, there's a lot of money floating around.
Where do you think the money should go? To billionaire Arabs and Americans instead?

Arabians and at least one American I know (Glazer) are investing in football to make profit, they get a piece of cake anyway.

They get paid that because they are worth it to the business.... if they weren’t they wouldn’t.

Exactly.
This is how capitalism works.
Its crazy how much they get paid but if there is a huge demand for a business that so few have the talent to produce then those few will get loads of money.
Anyway it's not just footballers that get paid loads - It's singers, actors, many celebrities etc.

Same for CEO’s you hear people moan like they think the owners want to give away the money to them 😂
Because football clubs themselves have a lot of money to spend, and they are all competing with eachother to get the best players.

Time to preach.
My idol, Thierry D. Henry, was born ‘77. These guys (footballers) give up a regular life and are 247 in the spotlight.
By the rules of balance, it’s only fair they get paid lavishly.
You think the universe isn’t in equilibrium? Fairness prospers because good is better than bad. Good is stronger than evil. Right is superior to wrong.
That idea.

The ‘average’ ones sitting on the bench are still elite footballers.
Ps hello ‘I don’t understand capitalism/supply and demand’
