You do realize the following don't you?:
1- You (and I and other fans) pay their salaries via ticket sales, TV viewership, gear, etc
2- Their bodies and brains take a beating that cuts their life and quality of life shorter than most careers.

While I absolutely agree with your first point, I have to take exception with the second. They are not "required" to play football. They have chosen that. The beating they take comes with the job and they accept that. But I do agree that their careers are relatively short - and they make as much as they can while they can. Can't fault them at all.
