    Not that far back but I don't think they should be paid more than £100,000 a year for kicking a ball around a bit of grass.

    The nature of the activity is entirely irrelevant, g_f. All that matters is the size of the audience prepared to watch the activity (or listen to). The medium of dissemination - radio, gramophone, movies, TV, internet - is far more important in determining reward than the intrinsic abilities of the individuals concerned.
