re: Pro Athletes Are Paid Too Much

If they get paid market value, I don’t see the problem. Make what you can, when you can.

With that said, I think the fact that these guys are ‘worth’ hundreds of millions reflects a society that has messed up priorities. Firefighters, police officers, etc need to be paid more. That will also increase the number of folks that don’t mind being civil servants, and you can better weed out the shite. Our society will complain about tax dollars going to those jobs before they’d complain about funding a retractable roof stadium.

Again, make what you can, when you can. But all we’ve done is put idiots like Lebron on a pedestal, and that’s not fun.
