Way OVER PAID!
Fortunately, they don’t see a dime of my money.
They are paid what the market will bear. It’s called the free market and capitalism.
The athletes are a market commodity.
A team owner hires them, or doesn’t. If the owner is to stay in business, the owner must sell enough tickets/commercials/etc to pay the athlete. If he doesn’t, he goes out of business, and the athlete doesn’t get paid. Then we would know the athlete wasn’t worth the salary.
But, the owner sells the tickets, makes enough money to stay in business...voila, the athlete is worth his salary.
All the rest is commiePinko comparable value BS.
we work for them....
If you buy anything that’s advertised on sports broadcasts, they’re seeing a lot more than a dime of your money.
