I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

^thisBut the wage figures involved -- particularly in football -- are stratospheric, offensive and a great many people would be delighted if they could be capped.
And, whilst diverting the funds to hospitals sounds altruistic, it's not really viable. Surely it would be better to keep the wages down (although not easy to implement), thus keeping the gate prices down, and letting the money wend its way into the economy from the fan's pocket.

Keeping the wage down is impossible to implementFor example, say the English Premiership decided that 25% of all wages were to goto a charitable cause.
You would soon find all the best players, in fact almost all the players finding work elsewhere because foreign clubs would be able to simply offer more money.
The compromise is for football clubs to do what they can to help charities - which they do, in the thousands of pounds!
