There are still historic political undertones being played in the football world. Especially for Lewandowski's case about 2 years ago when looking for a contract extension while other clubs were on the hunt for him he said he'll stay at Dortmund if he was given a raise but the Board told him that there would be no way that a Polish player would be the highest paid on the team. Being Poland and Germany, thousands of years of history plus the World Wars etc. etc. I think you can understand. So he looked elsewhere who would accept him, obviously Bayern.
Of course we now know that the best teams in the world have the most diversity amongst the players. Has it worked? examples of Yes and No. The Top 5 flight English teams have at most 2 or 3 English starting 11's consistently which they have been criticized for by their own. While other countries like Russia for example where racism is still relevant, some wont bother scouting out talent for their team beyond eastern europe
Gotze was just greed though

On the other hand, if another company offered you the same job you currently have and will pay you three times what you currently earn now, would you stay out of sense of loyalty to your company? No. I didn't think so.

The reason why most people dislike what they did, including myself, was the greed and betrayal. Its not like they were living check to check struggling to pay off their estates/high end apartments and beamers at Dortmund. Its not about Top Flight football either. BVB already has had some degree of success in UEFA and are basically the only competition in Bundesliga.
They chose to turn their back on arguably one of the most passionate fanbases in all of Europe for money and fame. Of course they dont owe BVB anything but it showed their character as individuals. Thats why they received the backlash they got, for joining the rival because they offered you more money.

They dont care about you breh.. most of them want LESS limelight. They know theyll be stars wherever they go. At the end of the day... The almighty dollar rules.

CR7? nah...
don't get me wrong though,of course Real was gonna throw money at him...
but he left after winning everything at United - 3 league titles,1 European Cup,1 FA Cup,2 League cups,1 FIFA Club World Cup and of course the World Player of the Year award...
when he left Old Trafford,he had the blessings of the fans...

The thing that bothers me is that bayern got both guys for a bargain. Stealing your rivals two best players for almost nothing.

People who have the "Sports package". (BeIn Sports, NBC Sports)
Is it worth it to keep paying for it during the offseason? Anything appealing? I'm thinking about canceling it till August.

Those fans who blessed his choice to leave are the same ones currently trying to organize the "Bring CR7 Home" campaign 
By your criteria, He hasn't won "everything" with RM yet... why would he leave now.

Yep. Who knows how much they would both gone for in the free market. But gotze should of gotten at least Neymar money and lewadowski probably would more than cavani. Yeah I rate them both higher.

No it's not
When the leagues ramp back up then yes obviously. But Bein Sports is pretty dry without the actual matches.
