All you guys are worthless that believe athletes make to much money, they are under paid i know personally from my years of playing professional baseball. When you put in the thousands upon thousands of hours perfecting our craft and all the revenue we bring into the owners we get less than 50% of the money brought to these teams. especially athletes that compete in football or MMA they are putting their lives on the line every time they walk on to the field on in the cage.
I don't believe that professional athletics should get pensions i believe that if an Athletic is making millions of dollars a year-He does not need a pension he should invest his money wisely for the day when he can no longer play sports-a perfect example is baseball player Mickey Mantle-when he retired from baseball he became a entrepreneur and brought restaurants
they do make too much money... but it's the fans that watch/go to the arena that are basically paying them. plus adv. so it's not like it's coming out of your taxes. But it does bother me that we live in a world where a soldier makes nothing to risk his life for his country, while some dumb fuck out of highschool, who can throw a ball in a ring can make millions so he can wear his bling bling. just seems backwards.
No atheletes are paid what the market bears they create jobs by selling a lot of advertisment space to TV and other vendors. besides the only one who can make that determination is the owners who are running the business not the customers who are their to regulate the quality of the sport.
You can't tell the owners what to do with their money! If they want to pay the athletes these salaries that's their BUSINESS. And the athletes, who are employees, would be idiots if they didn't take the money and run. The owner is making an investment that will make him/her more money. Capitalism. Don't blame the Athlete for the high salary.
Yes they make way to damn much. On average I think they should make 20 to 30 grand a year that is it. Cheer leaders only make about 50 bucks a game and do not make any thing for rehersails. I spent many years in the US Army and got paid shit if they would have paid me a half of what these sports players make damn I would be set and so would my kids
@tuedaz Then what about actors who make 30 mil a movie? If you bought the ticket to watch the game just like you did for the movie you wanted to watch you have no room to really complain.
I believe that the salaries of sports figures, film stars, etc. are ridiculous. These people are doing what they love and getting paid millions per year, while the average working stiff barely survives on what they make. Thirteen million for playing hockey? That's one of the reasons this world is so fucked up - inequality!
