Yes, it's obscene the amount that they earn. Ultimately it's the fan in the street who pays their wages, and some of those are the least able to afford it.

Well some certainly get paid huge amounts, but it could be argued that the sport they play earns millions of pounds, if Manchester United are earning hundreds of millions, surely the players are entitled to a fare share of that money. Also most professional athlethes have short careers and there is a high risk of injury and a strain on their personal lives from celebrity and travel.
In real terms however, when looking at what they actually do it would seem that getting paid millions to play a game does seem too much.

Not when you compare the level of entertainment they provide with the efforts of boy bands.

sportsmen get paid too much and sportswomen get paid too little!
