German football and money

BERLIN (AP) - The German Football League has secured an increase in income of more than 50 percent for television rights to the Bundesliga in a four-season deal starting next year. The deal announced Tuesday starts with the 2013-14 season and runs through to 2016-17. It leaves the main players unchanged, with Sky television keeping the live broadcast rights and ARD public television retaining the highlights rights of Bundesliga matches. The league, or DFL, said it will bring in about €2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) in total. That amounts to about €628 million per year on average, compared with €412 million per year at the moment. Sky Deutschland added live broadband Internet television and mobile rights to the live pay TV broadcasting package for the top two divisions it already held, and said it will pay an average €485.7 million per year." This is the latest news of German football, it attract great attendances but are they going to kill the league with to much money. The Premiership in England has overpaid players who once they get big money don't try very hard while playing. Sky has to much influence in deciding when the games are played 2 live matches Saturday, 3 Sunday, monday night, to much football when they want it. The behaviour of the players, managers and owners has been influenced by to much money around. I hope the Germans don't let the money ruin there football.
