That was my question - how does it hurt his legacy? The standard parameters for legacy were goals, assists, trophies, creativity, longevity, impact, etc. The overwhelming majority of fans (including Barca) will not believe he has 'tarnished' his legacy of winning 30% of all of Barca's trophies and scoring 10% of Barca's entire goals in their history.
Firstly they weren't as obscenely talented and even remotely as productive in goals and assists.
Secondly what amount of income is considered obscene? Above $10 million annually? Why not above $0.5 million annually? Would you feel ashamed of yourself and reject a salary of $0.5 million annually?
Why is it good character to be "of one organization forever"? Most people (especially millennials) work in 3-4 companies across their lifetime. Many of them end up as high earners. Are they of bad character too?
