The players have what expenses again? Who is the ones who need to build the stadiums and everything else that costs all the money. That is where most of the money belongs so that the can continue to improving it for the fans. Paying the players more money has no impact on the game but being able to spend more money on other things does. (obviously I am saying this in reference to the crazy amounts of money the players already get, not saying they should not be making millions)
