i forgot the mention that they are the best at what they do, the games might seem like "children's games" but all the work that they put into it, it isnt like they just go out and play, they practice always and stay in good shape. i mean, like the best brain surgeon in the world probably charges a lot cuz he is the best at what he does, i am not saying all these sports help out the world, but they are the best at what htey do, i am not trying to justify their big salaries though, because i am sure they can live on much less than that, but what about actors, i heard of some actors gettign 20 million for a movie. If you wanna strike it big, entertainment is the way to go, but less taht 1% of the population will get into entertainment, (movies) or (sports)

haha haha. sorry. not laughing at you. :p
i think it's ridiculous, personally. who really cares if they are the best at swinging a bat to hit a leather ball and run around some canvas bags. woooooo. they really earn that money don't they? even if i was the best brain surgeon in the world, wouldn't you laugh at me if i asked you for 26 mil to operate?
as for actors, ha. don't get me started there. "sure, this is a great script! i love it! how much are you going to pay me? sorry, i demand 20 million dollars for every movie i make. because i deserve it." :rolleyes:

sure they're the best at what they do but how can anyone justify one person making 252 million dollars over 10 years to play baseball while the best fire fighters are making WAY less than that and i'm sure you can come up with even better examples or comparisons. the players want more money but its always the fans who are hurt more than the owners cuz all the rich bastard has to do is raise ticket prices and look for more sponsers or wutever. there's gotta be a happy medium here. player salaries should drop along with ticket prices. games will be affordable to attend for everyone once again. i mean the top baseball player (a-rod for example), if he's smart with his money he could have easily been set for life with a 50 million dollar contract over 10 years instead of 252 million. wouldn't you agree?
btw the entertainment business (movies, tv, commercial music) is complete horse. |

heh, doesn't it just make you sick? to know that even those brave men and women who helped out at the WTC (all the firemen, police, emerg help) they got payed complete in comparrison to tom ing cruise. it's too easy to rant on like this. i hate it. i think i'm going to rant in the chill out room about this .

| yea, i dont really agree with their salary, but that is what it happens to be, and they are greedy, i'll admit that, and check, how many people get to be president of usa, and his salary is 200,000 a year, that is ridiculous, my uncle makes more than the president of the united states and the president runs this whole country |

Well, the reason they get paid so much is because you people worship them so much, they get into this state of mind that they can suck as much money out of you as possible... and no, I am not paying $12 to go see a new en movie in a theatre if I can see it 6 months later on a video almost for free... and no, I ain't paying $75 just to get a decent 200 feet away from the floor seats for the NBA games if I can see them for free on TV...
That is just a complete bull, and no, it's not even about entertainment, sports and fans anymore (well, most of the time), it's all about the money, and if you tell me it's not, I'll have to kick you in the head and call you a liar, 'cuz you obviously don't know jack ... |

| no fantom. i will not call you a liar. you are a hundred percent rite. every since free agency was introduced it seems like the players care less and less about the fans and more about cashing their paychecks. i also will not pay $50 for rangers tickets or $45 for bleacher seats to a yankees game. but i will pay to see a minor leauge game. |
