I think he meant that its just the Asian games, not the Olympics
so why the need to pay so much. Its not like sailing has so much
commerical value here.
So people in the EPL earn alot, but they do not take it from the
taxpayers or the govt. Its a commercial venture. Rather, the govt
earns from the tax generated from the EPL which is massive.
In Sg, we are indirectly paying them because they win something.
But again, to win a gold in Asiad is sometimes nothing great
really. The winner of the Asiad soccer gold medal probably cant
even defeat a team like Wigan or Reading.
You may win every single Asiad swimming medal but you will probably
lose to a single country called Australia totally.
We should be happy but probably not to the extent of paying so
much. Unless of course you are world best or commercially viable,
and not out of taxpayers money.
