...I think the problem with having highly paid footballers /sports people pay is that they have the choice to live anywhere in the world ...footballers particularly can play for overseas teams...why would they choose to live in the U.K. if no other country expected them to ‘finance’ but the U.K. did...and fans surely want to keep them here...as a country, we also need to keep the big income people/tax payers...not just for their taxes but because of the charity donations and work, which are often focused on local/U.K. charities...if we lost footballers from living here, the loss would be huge, surely...what they give and donate in terms of both time and money, above their legal taxes, has to be their decision and not a forced one...
