The average footballer's wage in the English Premiership is £15,000 per week, the top players are paid around £90k per week. What value do they add to society?

Although I am not into football in any shape of form....

You could argue that footballers provide much more entertainment value than poker players. Look at how many people attend football matches every week.

And at the end of day, someone is PAYING those players that money- they are not WINNING it as such. Professional football is big business and those players would not be payed those sums if the return wasn't worth it for the club.
