You’re not wrong when your frame of comparison is with migrant workers. But the point is to compare them to other parts of the same machinery that they are involved in, namely the football players. Maybe they aren’t the main event, so sure, they don’t need billions, but that’s still an un-ignorably huge gap between two groups of people doing what looks like, from the point of view of a non-fan, like equally silly jobs. That gap is an injustice no matter which way you spin it, and it deserves to be decried and corrected. I would take either route of correcting the problem, honestly. Either all people in the entertainment industry are bumped down the the level where they are paid shittily and boss tells them how, what and for how long they can put stuff in their orifi, or none of them are.
