The problem is not they earning money... It's about they earning money and the ones who fight for the championship or even the one who wins it, can't make significant profit( I dare to say that most of them just earn the necessary to sustain every week).
Maybe I didn't make myself clear earlier... Don't focus in the "tanking" part, let's make it more general...
In real life, how is it possible that the ones taking all the glory have to deal with no significative income and the ones with no success takes it all??
Just think about that for a minute.
So... you want to win, AND get the better of the financial situation.
That's... a little greedy.
I have no problem at all with a team choosing to tank. It's something that *really* happens... sometimes you have to lose to accrue assets.
