I agree. Unfortunately, most sportsmen are not in their game for morals. More for
their pocket. However, of course their are other factors involved. If the public are
willing to pay often over - inflated costs and the media pump millions into such
things, inevitably the upward spiral is always going to result in players earning
fortunes.

it's own, can often lack general loyalty and commitment.
