Bob owns a professional basketball team. Do you think its fair to pay the best player on the team 20 million, and pay the guy at the end

of the bench 1 million...... or should all players make the same amount ?? if you believe that none of these players deserve this type of money, then who do you believe should regulate the salaries ??

It's revenues and demand that drive these salaries. Athletes get these large contracts because owners know that the possible return from having them on the team will sell tickets and merchandise and keep the team playing into the postseason. People complain about sports stars being overpaid but the reason such a thing is possible is because people love and watch the sport. If the money wasn't there the owners wouldn't be giving it away.
