As a result, the quality of football as a product is getting worse. This is because top players are exhausted and injured, therefore performing less and to a lower standard. In addition, fans are getting fatigued because they are over-consuming games.

In other words, as football got monetized, the powers that be tried to supply more in order to fill their pockets. Rather than improve their governance, they expect the footballers and fans to do more.

This is like how central banks, in tandem with governments, print money in order to fulfill their obligations, rather than improving government services to justify increased taxes or cutting their spending (and power).

In football, it is the talent of the players like Lionel Messi and the culture developed by fans over decades that makes it the most loved game on earth. FIFA and UEFA, however, are spoiling the beautiful game and lining their pockets in the process.

Like #Bitcoin rescues control of money from the state, fans and players need to take football back into their own hands.
