Amen. No one should ever complain if they even made 6 figures playing a sport. Let alone 7+.
I love sports, but I will rarely watch them in person or buy team memorabilia because of how we admire athletes too much.
The whole revenue thing is BS. If the money wasn't going to sports it would be going somewhere else, probably more useful. It is exactly that mentality of rationalizing of the ridiculous that holds society back. I can see a doctor or engineer making 6 figures. No problem. But if it's acceptable, in a society,a guy gets paid more money to hit a ball or throw it through a hoop, no matter how good he is at it, then a guy who busts his ass going into a burning building or keeping the streets or the country safe or other important jobs like a scientist finding cures to diseases, then that says something negative about said society.
