Do you think sportsmen or women should be paid the copious amounts of money that they are?

As long as people are willing to pay the price to attend these professionals sporting events then these athletes will continue to be paid accordingly. Free market at work and that is fine with me. What I don’t like is making them heroes to be admired. The real heroes are those men and women that go to work every day and support their family and among them are some supper heroes like fire, police and EMS professionals.
