    no they arent.

    but the TV ratings, attendance, jersey sales ETC wasnt what it was today either.

    it was viewed back then as "just a game" now its considered high dollar entertainment, akin to the Theatre, or the Movies.

    He resigned for, I think, the max. I could be wrong, but it was definitely lower than his last contract.

    They DO make too much money, as do actors. It kills me how highly uneducated people out there make millions (and lets face it, some of these people are not educated and can barely speak English properly) just because they have some 'sport' talent.

    Yet, you have teachers who are lucky if they make more than $40k a year on a good day.

    I'm not saying they shouldn't be paid wll, but there is no reason people should be making 9 million or more a year just because they can put a ball through a hoop.
    What are you a communist? Its called supply and demand, capitalism. Its easy as to a be a teacher, they let any moron do it these days, you don't even need a degree, probably why kids are so damn stupid. However not everyone can be a basketball player or an actor. The world needs ditch diggers too you know.

    Don't make me go tpark on you... (just kidding tpark)

    I didn't say they shouldn't get paid a lot, but I do believe there are a lot of players out there that aren't worth their salaries. Getting paid millions of dollars to ride the pine is stupid.
