Reality check for these days

Professional athletes are only worth what we the public are willing to pay them. If we didnt support them by the billions then they would earn as much as I do flipping hamburgers. Do I think that athletes should be paid obscene dollars to do what kids do during recess everyday for free? No, but because they provide mass entertainment and we are more than happy to buy into that, well it is what it is.

But yes, the real heroes are the ones still working to keep the country alive and the ones who are suffering because they were released of their duties from the China virus. Athletes were never heroes, they are just very well paid entertainers...
 
Salute to the hard working Farmers, Truckers, and US Military personnel! Without them we'd be screwed! 440'

Yes, they are well paid entertainers, but I hate it when people say they shouldn't be paid as much, why not ? You can improve your income by more specialized education, and training. If an owner of an nfl/NHL/nba wants to pay high contracts so be it.That's what is great about America. You can do what you want if you work hard for it. If you complain about flipping burgers then learn a trade. I did. What would be next ? Iron workers make too much, and so on ?
