Probably because nobody cares about sports or about athletes who are severely overpaid.
Also, its a fact athletes are UNDERPAID not overpaid.
How so?
You think Lebron James or Peyton Manning is overpaid?
17 Million is quite a bit. I think hockey players get just the right amount.$500,000 to 10 million.
Both Peyton and Lebron are worth over 150 million to their teams. I'd say 17 is a steal.
Nope. They are not worth more than any other human on the planet. You can also not put a monetary value on a person, nice try though.
Certainly not worth more than doctors and the like who are fighting diseases in places like Africa and South America.
We live in a capitalist society.
That doesn't mean entertainers should get more than those who save lives.
