just like if I found a cure for cancer tomorrow I would become a billionaire or trillonaire

or if I could convert salt water to drinking water cheaply I would be a billionaire

it is just economics

but see, running a 4.2 and being able to catch a ball or break 11 tackles doesn't even compare in this day and age to being able to save someone from cancer or improve society in some tangible way.

The American entertainment industry is obscene.

I agree with you that practically speaking, an elite athlete is a rare commodity. Ethically, however, it's obscene.

that's different. You would do something that would help millions of people live.

coverting salt water to drinking water is also very helful to a lot of people...

Playing football or any sport is a game.. it's just ridiculous that people can just catch a ball for a living and make millions. some of those people are stupid as fuck.

These NFL owners are making plenty of money. Larry Fitz has sold tons of jerseys and is the franchise player for the Cards. He got way overpaid but the owner wont lose money off the deal.

Money from endorsements is different than salary.

I realize that the owner won't lose money off the deal, but if salaries were lowered, ticket prices and jersey prices could be lowered.

Wow...8 years and 120 million...I know he's a good player but come on! That is a lot of money invested in one player. I would used that money to upgrade other positions on the team. Also with this extension he is going to be on the cards untill hes like 36. lol
