Are athletes paid way too much?

YOUR paid way to much.

 

Depends on the value of the player. Stars like Kobe and Lebron are WAY WAY UNDERPAID for what they contribute to the NBA. Then you have players like Rashard Lewis. That's overpaid. It all has to be put in perspective.

 

A. You're a dentist, not an MD

B. You had to cheat your way through dental school

So you're not in a position to talk about what society prioritizes.

Even if you could run faster or jump higher, you wouldn't have the skillset or the sincere dedication in the gym to make something of it. Don't be a player hater because you couldn't make it in the rat race without illegitimate means; these guys are talented and the world worships talent. Always has, always will.

 

You're so obsessed with me...I love that I have that power over you.

Speaking of skillset, I played a sport in college.

And what does "A" have to do with anything?

 

Backgammon isn't a sport.

Hacking into the professor's computer isn't a sport.

Piggybacking around with your 7 best male buddies drunk off your ass at 3 in the morning isn't a sport.

Croquet isn't a mens sport.

Let's face it - you're no athlete kid, you're just a talker.

 

Funny guy...you're the king of all talk, no walk.

And Im good at backgammon, havent played croquet, have never hacked into anyones computer...there have been times that Ive been drunk with my guy friends, but no piggybacking took place.

Still waiting, ronny boy, still waiting...

 

Still physically threatening me because I won't play down to the competition? You must pack some power into that 5'8 frame.

 

Where do you get 5'8" from? thats the 2nd or 3rd time youve mentioned that...and youre off by a good 4 inches.

Im not threatening you...but Im just saying that you wouldnt say half the stuff you say here to my face. I know you wouldnt. All talk, Ronny boy, all talk.

 

Don't flatter yourself, homegirl. I'm calling a spade a spade like I always do. No one fears cheaters, they can be easily broken since they have no sense of self.

 

Very nice, random comment that has nothing to do with anything. Great job, sport.

If you think atheletes get paid too much stop paying to go to games.

Nobody is going to pay $50 a ticket and $10 per beer to watch a teacher teach students.

 

You've never watched a high school or college athletic event?

 

Cool. What sport did you play?

 

Played me the manly sport of tennis.

 

Nope... Supply and demand...

 

I think football players are UNDER paid. Have you seen Earl Campbell lately?

 

Very Very few sideline reporters make that kind of money

 

I look at it the exact opposite - if they were paid less, maybe ticket & food prices could be lower..and I could afford to go to a game.

 

IMO I think the most overpaid athletes are boxers. Manny Pacquiao gets paid way too freakin much.
