The notion of football players being overnight millionaires seems just too utterly ridiculous to be worth even thinking about. Think about it for a moment . How does any player getting paid millions actually benefit any of us other than maybe entertaining us for 16, MAYBE 32 hours per year ? It doesn't. I'd be far more impressed by players if they were paid like mere mortals like the rest of us, but it's reached the ridiculous point that some fans actually believe they've actually done anything to earn such huge salaries. Are they running into burning buildings on a regular basis to save lives? Are they skilled surgeons keeping people alive? Are they educating our children to lead useful and productive lives ?
No..they hit other guys a few hours a day a handful of days a year without actually winning anything other than a few games ..
I dunno folks .something just ain't right with this picture, but paying a guy 5 million bucks to hit someone else who is absolutely no threat to us seems just a tad off.. What am I missing here?
I gotta say Grampahol, everytime I read your posts, which makes me laugh, I think of the old song, "He's just an old Hippie"....
