Players, coaches (and fans) always (rightfully) cry about too many matches. So why are there no actual protests? (alien.top)

Whiney interviews won't change anything. But imagine all teams collectively boycotting an entire matchday. They just refuse to play. This would do huge damage to the leagues, UEFA, FIFA etc. And the clubs or associations can't just punish everyone. They rely on the players. Don't the players even have a union? So why is nothing like that happening? The only reason I can think of is that the pain isn't strong enough yet to actually act.

There would seem to be one obvious solution that I haven't heard people talking about.

More games means more money.

More money could mean more ability to pay players.

Solution - use the money to increase squad sizes, allow greater rotation of players to rest, ask football associations to increase the number of players that can be registered to play

That solution already exists.
