    Agreed

    A lot of pure sports have been ruined through

    1) Globalisation/Commercialisation
    2) Fantasy Sports I believe (lot of people not actual fans of 'teams' anymore, but rather earning points.
    3) Juicing
    4) Betting/Fixing
    5) Social Media

    Not fully sure but maybe browser crypto mining instead of ads. It was never given a chance as the first provider allowed far too much cpu usage.

    It would solve a good few problems regarding personal information if cpu usage was capped at a good level.

    I hate it. Just because 'the market' decides Messi should get 500 thousand a week, doesn't mean the market is right. Nobody should earn that much because they kick a bit of leather around a pitch. I don't know how you value their brilliance, perhaps the value they give to millions around the world in happiness and memories vindicates it, but the wages they make is just obscene.

    If there aren't any billionaires inflating prices, the wages are justified as that is what they make the club and more. Capped prices would mean lots of teams offering that amount for one player. Who gets him? Draw straws? Let the player decide?
