ALL nba players are grossly overpaid when you consider their actual contribution to the betterment of society.Fox news is being grossly overpaid.
I am glad to see a former UK player do well; but let’s put this in perspective.
We pay some millions on top of millions to play a game but yet we pay those who save our lives, protect us from harm, risk their lives for us and we reward them with $50-60,000 a year.
Wonder if a front line nurse dealing with COVID patients, a policeman, firefighter, or a soldier stationed in the Gulf region would like it to get paid more?
Just saying this to put things in perspective folks.
And then we listen to these highly paid ball players lecture us middle class on how we should live our lives.
Glad to see a UK player make it. But after seeing and listening to so many of these players this past year with what all has gone on, screw the pro leagues.
yes but this is capitalism. They made a bunch of money bc they bring in a lot of money. They are valued highly by their company and compensated accordingly.
And the alternative is that billionaire owners who don't even play the game would just get even more of the money
This I don't disagree with...don't like it, but can't disagree with it.yes but this is capitalism. They made a bunch of money bc they bring in a lot of money. They are valued highly by their company and compensated accordingly.
yep. I mean I don’t disagree that it seems a little silly in the grand scheme of things but a lot of things are not “fair”. I might make 40k a year as a state employee but I live a simple modest life and can pay my bills. I’m aware I’m in a better spot than a lot of people and that perspective keeps me from worrying too much about that kind of stuff. Happy for these guys who put in work and make their dreams come true

Isn’t this really just an argument that those industries need better/some union representation?
Won’t work. They just downsize to cut the cost. A budget is a budget.
Booooooo.I am glad to see a former UK player do well; but let’s put this in perspective.

True in some cases but not all. Traveling nurses are making tons more money if they work high risk areas. There’s always more flexibility if workers have leverage. It might end up in higher prices but there are plenty of examples where unions have increased wages.
While I agree that athletes and celebrities are grossly overpaid in comparison to those brought up the only way to fix that is with socialism which I am strongly against as it has never worked in our planets history and never will.
what I would be in favor of is cutting the salaries of senators and Congress and giving that money to the paychecks of military, ems, public school teachers, and the military. Not their general budgets, but their salaries.
Bless your fiance bc teaching is absolutely the least compensated job I think there is. And for you bc you will be in situations I’m sure the high stress and low pay make for some tough days for her which sometimes carries back home. My mom taught kindergarten/1st grade for 30 years and dad taught middle school science for a majority of his career.I get you. My fiance is a teacher, and she's grossly underpaid and her school is grossly underfunded. She takes money out of our personal accounts to make sure her students have all the tools they need, and she does a helluva job. I'd put her up against anybody in the field.
But people aren't lining up around the block to watch her fill the minds of 5 year olds with wonder and knowledge. It is what it is. The market for athletes is what it is. And I'd argue they provide a meaningful a service. Don't take for granted how entertainment, however you find it, enriches your life. It's a tough row to hoe, day to day life. Getting that break from it, I believe, is necessary.
