Well, honestly in most professional sports, Teams having several BIG TIME national players will most of the time make quite a solid loss. There´s only a handful examples (FC Bayern in Football p.e.) who manage to actually make profit although having a team stacked with team players, usually (FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea...) teams make severe losses.
It´s not that different in other sports.
