Anybody earning over half a million annually to entertain (football, hollywood, whatever) gets paid too much. I don't care how hard they work, blah blah blah, they are siphoning off money from the middle class...and they should feel ashamed.

No they are a form of entertainment. If you take a look at it football players only average a 2 year career. Yes there are others that make lots of money and play for 15-20 years but the majority does not. You also have to look at the fans until we stop watching the games and buying merchandise nothing will change.

In a free economy, anyone can earn what they can earn and what the market calls for. Evidently, football players can demand and get a lot of money for their service as football players. The same is true of Hollywood icons and baseball players. So, it really doesn't matter a rat's behind what I think. It depends solely on what the market will bear.
Chow!!
