I guess its a good thing these sports teams pay well otherwise 75% of the NBA players would be in jail or selling crack.
Dodgers suck.
Oh really??? care to elaborate????
Those that contribute the least to society make the most, those that contribute the most to society make the least. ie: athletes, actors...teachers, firemen. Look at the annual parade magazine in the Sunday newspaper. Every year they have a what do people make segment.
I don't follow basketball anymore but one example would be Ron Artest, when he jumped into the crowd to fight with fans. Thats the guy right?
EDIT: This took two seconds to find.

You know a sport is full of thugs when they have to send rookies to school to teach them how to stay out of trouble.
Yeah thats classy, where do I get in line to buy tickets so I can support these morons.
Then those who feel like they contribute "the most" to society, wouldn't mind picking up the collective decrease in tax revenue generated by these athletes if said athletes wages were brought more in line with those "important" people. Right? If you are dumb enough to think an athlete contributes more to society because of a bank roll you are a complete idiot. Lets pay the teachers what athletes make. Ill gurantee you the money will be put to better use. Or pick up the slack in the millions and millions of dollars donated to charity every year by the "uncontributers"? They give their time in very unrewarding (financially that is) careers. Anyone can throw money around.
Just because they may not provide a necessary service, they contribute to the economy and society in different, but still important ways. What do you think would be done if we reversed the pay rolls. Same amount of money? Just going to people that give a damn about the future of our children. You are not very bright. To think they don't pull their fair share is emotional nonsense. No! Just didnt think your idiotic response through.
Another clueless FI member.
Yep, another FI idiot!
All riiiighty then......
Looks like the Rockies are trying to Rally.....
And ALPA is "taking it back."
Wow! You got me on the use of a comma. Oh the humanity. It has been proven that over 65% of professional athletes in Football, baseball and basketball still support their affiliated gangs financially. Now there is good use of that money. I dont think many teachers, firemen or police officers would do that. While all professions have their bad apples some have more.
I also know of several excellent teachers that have left the profession because they couldnt raise a family on that income. Those are the teachers I want to stay. I could go on and refute your idiotic staements, but you arent worth the time.
Why is this on the majors forum?
Does that mean the airlines are full of drunks...
