Y'know, with everyone talking about actors and actresses getting paid
more than God, and now with corporate execs entering the discussion,
why hasn't anyone brought up the utterly obscene amounts that ATHLETES
are paid???
I firmly believe that, even though they MAY be overpaid, actors/
actresses and corporate execs positively contribute a HELL of a lot
more to benefit mankind than ATHLETES EVER have and EVER will. Yet,
here they are making astronomical amounts of money for running around
with a football or basketball, or swinging at a ball with a stick.
All I can say is WTF???
