Dont you hate when athletes think they should be getting 10 mil a year just because a few have.?

Question

especially when they are just good, and not great. cause 10 mil a year is great not good.

Answer 1

Athletes get what the market bears. In general, Athletic Teams generate large revenues (especially the popular pro sports, such as NBA, NFL, MLB), so the Athletes asking for a fair share of that revenue isn't really so upsetting.

Let's face it - if I make a product that my boss can make millions on, is it fair for me to only be paid $10.00 an hour?

I view Professional Athletes just like I view Movie Stars - they're ENTERTAINMENT. They don't get paid because they're talented, they get paid because they're ENTERTAINING.

Answer 2

They have to get paid a lot. There bodies are going to wear out before anyone else's. Leaving them penniless if they are not careful.
Most of those jocks do not have a education to back them up as well. Usually it is these kids that get a free ride in school.
So just think of it as they have to make the money while they can....while there bodies hold up anyhoo...

Answer 3

Noboby deserves to get paid 10 Million dollars a year to play a game sorry. You ask any player when they were young, they all said if i could make it to the pro's i would play for free. The owners get greedy, so the players get greedy.

Answer 4

Actually I don't mind. These guys prance around showing off their bling, cars, etc... only to be broke when it's over.

Most only have a street education which they can put back to use later to sell crack.

Answer 5

do you realize that a professional bench warmer makes more money than a US soldier getting shot at in Iraq? Dont get me started
