Salaries in Sports

What if I told you I got paid millions of dollars to hit a ball and run around bases for a living? Even better, I got paid more to do that than soldiers get for fighting for our freedom, or doctors saving lives, and pretty much everyone else with a job in America. Well that'd be true if I played in the Major League Baseball, or any other professional sport.  They get paid so much money just for us to watch them play their sport.  When you step back and look at it, it doesn't make much sense. Especially with the lock outs when the players want even more money. That is so stupid! You get paid more than everyone else who works just as hard and they aren't even doing a fun job. At least they get to play the sport they grew up loving.  While the other half of us slave away at a desk or whatever it is that we might do.

In my opinion, professional sports players make enough money as it is.  I don't know how they can complain.  If I got paid to play a sport, best believe I'd be dying happy.  Too bad I'm not that talented.  But it just aggravates me to see all these athletes complain. Cherish what you have while 80% of the rest of the country is struggling to make ends meet.  If anything, you should be paid less.  Your salaries shouldn't be any where near what they are.  Endorsements are another story.  If a company wants to pay you millions to just show up and take pictures and endorse them, that is their fault.  Even though they probably bank twice as much off of you as they pay you.  I guess that's just the world we live in.
