Sports salaries are insane by any standard. When bench warmers make more than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes there's something definitely wrong which is only one small part of why I don't buy NFL and MLB "gear"..
I don't blame the players and to be fair if someone was willing to pay me millions to do a job where I didn't really have to be all that good at it I'd definitely take it. Heck, at one time I delivered pizza and was earning more than anyone in the shop including the management, but I was the only driver they had who could work both days and nights and who drove up and down Main Street like a maniac. Still I never made 10 million bucks a year. Back then I thought I was crapping in high cotton making $4 an hour plus tips..woo freakin hoo!
