That's crazy, they're playing a game.
They deserve it for working so hard to get there.

Shohei Ohtani just signed a 700 million dollar contract with the LA Dodgers. What are your thoughts on athletes getting paid so much?

Complete fucking bullshit. I see these famous athletes as actors and actesses. Yes they are talented, but just like anyone, nobody needs that wealth. The fact that wealth exists in the industry is stupid. But people keep tuning in, keep buying tickets and gear and worshipping humans like gods.

It's disgusting.

@AlchemyFox I can't blame the players for cashing in - anymore than I can blame a lottery winner for cashing in their winning ticket.

what gets me is the millions of people willing to pay that kind of money for tickets/skybooths and advertisers paying millions for advertising rights.

couldn't pay the players if they didn't have people willing to pay for it.

now compare their wages to the nurse that's monitoring your vitals, or the EMT that is administering first aid to get you to the hospital, or the people teaching our kids....

yeah...disgusting how our priorities are so out of whack.

@Pretzel it's disgusting. If I ever took in that kind of money I'd give most of it away.
