Long gone are the days of being a plumber by day, baller by night. Whether that 'baller' be basket, foot, golf, or otherwise related, the players are paid too much.
Now, when someone sees an NFL player getting paid less than $1,000,000 per year, they say "wow, he's getting screwed."
It never should have come to this. The money and commercialized culture of sports will be the death of the selfless athlete.
Remember when all an athlete needed to be happy was a ring, trophy, or medal?
Neither do I.
