People think American athletes get paid too much but those European soccer players get paid insane amounts of money.

And the fees the clubs pay just for their rights are insane too.

They have more fans and sponsors but I agree all are overpaid along with “celebrities”. They shouldn’t be paid over a million a year. These are the same people who are currently advocating for redistribution of wealth as well.

I don't see him visiting China and commenting on the merit of their system.

Yep

Some of these guys make upwards of 350-500k A WEEK

It’s absurd and that’s just their soccer contract and not including endorsements and sponsorship, shoe contracts etc
