The images are clearly not screen grabs, otherwise there would be channel logos, scores, and various other on screen graphics. Purchasing photos at a 'low' resolution keeps costs down - there's a reason why websites such as the BBC, sky sports, eurosport etc, etc don't have full screen photos on their pages. See examples here :

The soccer-europe.com license was intended for users to use a HANDFUL of images from my website within wikipedia, the intention was not to grant free reign for users to upload dozens of photos every month.

The use of the license has been made clear yet these privileges are still being abused :
