I posed this as league-managed, not governmental.
I vote a strong yes, with a generous cap. My main reason for posing it was the ridiculous spending by Real Madrid to gain players with which they would hope to dominate European soccer.
In the Australian Football League, the salary cap is maybe a bit too tight, but it's not an actual figure; it's proportional to the lowest and highest spending teams. The highest spending team cannot spend more than 150% of the lowest team. I'd like something more like 200% and a figure that could represent the lowest team, in case a team actually went lower, that would stop any major volatility. Maybe the current figure for the lowest team indexed for inflation, and automatically changing to a new figure should all the teams go above that figure, changing to the new lowest team player costs.
