Beyond the fact that it's troubling to suggest that how much money you have should determine your worth to the government, athletes are primarily healthy individuals in their 20's and 30's, and do not have to interact with the public as part of their profession. This is just a bad idea and a tough look for him.
That's why smart people don't listen to celebrities when it comes to things like science and politics (Unless that celebrity is Neil deGrasse Tyson talking astrophysics).
