I find it interesting that a pro athlete can get paid $25million a year....

...and we hear nothing from Democrats. Yet if a CEO makes 5 million a year, it is excessive and obscene, and needs to be controlled. In both instances I am sure the organization is paying what it feels is a fair value based on what that person will do for the organization. In Detroit of all places, an organization is paying someone over $200 million for the next 10 years… don't get me wrong I am happy for that person, but wonder what the outcry would be if he were a white CEO who just signed that kind of contract…

Players like Lebron, Kobe, Peyton, etc are actually underpaid. Don't know enough about baseball to really comment on Miggy though.

Pols know better than to rag on their voters favorite sports idols.
It's much easier to villainize the CEO of a Corp that most of the low information voters think is ripping them off.
That is all.

What about the movie stars, rappers, and other entertainers the left is constantly sucking the dicks/labias of? Why in the frick do they need that much money? And what value do they bring to mankind other than shitty music, shitty movies, and tabloid news rags?

Especially interesting if you know something about sports history. In the 1930s baseball dominated American sports. However, a poor kid living in a Major League city could sit in the outfield bleachers for pennies a day.
Now, MLB, NBA and NFL tickets are not only beyond the reach of the poor, they are beyond the reach of the middle class. One would think the liberals would be clamoring for price controls.

pro athletes are the workers of their industry...Posted on 3/30/14 at 1:41 pm to lsu1987
I suspect it has more to do with athletes visibly producing something through labor.
They're the workers.
They're the workers.

The majority of people think pro sports salaries are outrageous and out of control, so that kind of hurts your point.
And a lot of the time people get upset when CEO's receive their bonuses, raises, or otherwise large salary when the companies received subsidies, bailout money, tax breaks ect.

I haven't seen democrats get upset over $5M. At least not recently.
