first off its not my job to analyze every specific thief. But since I have nothing else to do right now: do you think sport stadiums and sport organizations are just like immutable laws of nature? They're just always there? No, there are legions of people who work to make these events happen, and the athletes steal basically all the money. For crying out loud, the Qatar world cup stadium was built using literal slave labor. All those morally corrupt athletes still played there.
You have ~~thief~~ billionaire athlete friends (a claim I am dubious of). Well, I have friends who work in the sports industry who are 50 and can't afford to move out of their parents basement. They are employed full-time and work at least three jobs.
You could pay my friend a livable wage so he could live in his own property for the first time in his life or you could keep the money for yourself. You are entirely dependent on him doing his job for you to earn anything, and you choose to keep the money for yourself. And you truly don't see how keeping all the money for yourself is stealing his wages? Oh and also there are hundreds of thousands of people in my friends situation, but there's only like 500 of you.
