Yeah, we should pay teachers 10 million a year.
What's hilarious is what you reject the capitalist ideal. These athletes(and actors in the case of film) ARE the product, though the athletes are more essential than actors who need writing, directing, etc.
The fatcat owners who extort money for stadiums get a free pass, but the athletes who people actually pay to see should get minimum wage, according to geniuses like you.
Hell, lots of companies make products that are of only MARGINAL value to society and make billions. But they shouldn't get paid either, right?
Or do you just have a bias against the athletes?
Double digit IQ's playing a childs game while being paid millions of dollars-DUH!!!! Anyone who pays to see these idiots in any sport are idiots themselves.
