But, anyway, I do think some people are so jealous of the big salaries, they enjoy being disrespectful. I think that's just classless. Hey, they're at the top of their profession, let them roll with it.
On the other hand, this argument that they've got to make it in such a short time is bogus in my view. Who said you should be on easy street by 30 years of age, and live like a king from then on without ever doing anything productive again.
Such is life. We commoners in America moan about how entitled and rich athletes are (and occasionally get some shameful joy when they fail) without realizing there may be billions of people on this earth who look upon the average American with the same disdain and incredulity.
