Quite a few folks agreeing with the OP, none of them even trying to answer this question, which has been posed numerous times...

People agree because they feel it’s “unfair someone could be busting their arse off” but still never make close to someone playing a hobby.

I remember my HS English teacher arguing that^. Even back then it didn’t make any sense to me how those billions generated by privately owned sports teams would somehow wind up in the pockets of teachers, firefighters, and scientists.

It’s also weird how people seem to go after athletes for making “too much” money but musicians and actors don’t get targeted by that same argument nearly as much.
