Topic	The sport where players actually deserve the best contracts is also the worst
StealThisSheen 11/11/23 6:29:58 PM #13:	Flauros posted... Nobody deserves to make millions of dollars to play sports. I'd disagree, somewhat. "Professional athlete" is one of the careers most likely to result in injury, often multiple. And sports DO help local economies. So, yes, while I agree our current system is broken, in general... Within the current system, athletes do deserve high pay. The issue isn't that athletes are paid too much, it's that other careers are paid too little. And they're separate problems. You don't need to pay athletes less in order to pay other careers more. The problem is that, in other careers, there is usually somebody at the top making too much and not willing to cut into their own profits. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
