I had the same topic back in highschool. No they are not overpaid. For the amount of many they make for their leagues, they are getting paid a fair amount.
id rather give school teachers, police officers, firefighters, etc..... millions to do what they do
I hear what you are saying and those people you mention contribute a lot, but unfortunatley that's not how the world works. Lets be honestif teachers were paid millions of dollars guess what everybody would be going to school for. Are all of us then going to get paid millions of dollars when weget that teachers liscense? Then where is this money going to come from? Are only families with money going to be able to send their kids to elementary/highschool? Or are they going to start selling engraved apples with your favorite teachers name? Lets face it we can all go to school to become teachers, but weall can't go to school and get Kobe's fadeaway.
YESS! I love sports but the fact is, these guys are getting paid for childhood games.
You're right these are childhood games but guess what, people like you and me pay to watch these games. The money is there and if the athletesdon't get their share where is the money going to go?
