Are they? The teams/owners/tournaments get huge amounts of money from investors & deals with the media....part of the agreements negotiated by the player unions enables the players (the reason why these investments/deals are being made) to reap a fair share of what the teams/owners are taking in. The players are being paid as much for their economic value to the teams/owners/tournaments as for anything else. The best players get paid a lot of money for their value off the field as well as on it.

@DragonFruit I lose interest with players being promoted on a box of cereal. Use to enjoy the "Game", now the obscene salaries ... leagues above general fans salaries.
