Also none of those entertainers had other people negotiate away their rights for them to choose their workplace or sign for what others are willing to pay them. Or have an artificial cap on how much they're allowed to make. All with the government bending laws and looking the other way with exceptions for business practices for this one specific field.

-2009 Matthew Stafford got a $72m deal as a rookie because that's what the market valued him at.
-2010 Sam Bradford got a $78m deal as a rookie because that's what the market valued him at.
-2011 other people negotiated away Cam Newton's ability to get paid what people were willing to pay him. He went from being in line for ~$84m to getting a fixed $22m because the market was fixed against his interests without him having any voice in the matter.

That would never happen to an entertainer. Or any other job for that matter.

For every Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford, the world can also point to a Jamarcus Russell and Sam Bradford.
