I do not agree about it.
I think it is more interesting to see also computers in the league.

If humans do not earn less money from chess because of computers I do not see
what is the problem.
I think that seeing computer-human games is more interesting for the public then
human-human games.

I heard that every team has to pay 4000 shekel(almost 1000$) to have a computer
in the team so chess get money from computers.
