I do see where you're coming from, I really do. But athletes are only payed exorbitant fees because we as a society are willing to pay to see them, and because businesses with money can afford and are willing to pay massive sponsorship deals. Thos businesses get their money because we as are society are willing to pay for that wonderfully vague business term, 'value added'. I disagree with you on the music thing. For every naive band exploited by the lawyers and record company that have lured them into a contract that effectively owns them, there's a band like Led Zeppelin where the artists have more money than they know what to do with (trust me on that, Rob Plant plays tennis at the club where I go to the gym). That's just the way it is though. You can't very well stop it; not without simply removing the money from those sectors, and that's not fair either. It's not capitalism per se that's at fault, it's more a problem with society.
well, but the big clubs wouldn't be able to pay these sums to their players if we would have a different system. And right now Capitalist sharks are about to ruin football in Europe, by buying big clubs and hijacking them. Really disgusting stuff and if it goes on like this, nobody will care for football anymore in a few years, I certainly won't, if the business takes over the sports part of it completely...
And yes, as I said, some musicians do profit from their success, but they're by far in the minority. And most of the artists I listen to are certainly not in it for the money, since most of them won't even make enough with their music to live off it. Which would again prove my point that art workes fine without Capitalism...
