    If they weren't paid as much, maybe tickets to the game wouldn't be so dang high.

    Like you said, they are basically entertainers. Then again, I guess entertainers are overpaid in general...
    Something that is voluntary can not be a rip off, because you're not forced to participate. You may find that is priced too high, however economists would disagree with your assessment. If I could sell mud pies for $20, and people would buy them... I would bring mud pies to market!

    People will make what the market will bear. It's simple economics.

    I'm no Laissez-faire economist, but I'm pretty danged close ...

    Guess what... College Football starts tonight!!!

      I'm not saying we should limit pro players' salaries (just as I don't think CEO salaries should be limited). I can still think it is ridiculous. My point was that IMO a CEO affects the economy more directly than an NFL player.

      College Football FTW! Go VOLS!

          35 million isn't even near the top. And the CEO isn't the only one pulling in huge salaries and stock + Options.

            Now we have had a lot of flooding in this area and there are still a lot of houses that have not been repaired. Must be the apocalypse.

            I have been too busy to play any games. I would make time for CainsLair games though.
