It doesn't bother me unlike salaries of medical staff and teachers that are underestimated.

I think teachers are overestimated. They work 9 months out of the year. The ones below HS level are just glorified baby sitters. 40k a year is good enough. 70k in expensive areas.

People who are in the top one percent of what they do in their field usually make the big bucks more times than not. If I won the genetic lottery and had the skills to match I would try to maximize it too.

There is no profession where the top 1% pulls in millions of dollars. Maybe surgeons, but even they only avg $230k https://www.indeed.com/career/surgeon/salaries |

I have a mixed answer. I have no problem with a pro athlete making millions and being setup for life. That's great. The player has a talent. They get injured fairly often. The teams make huge sums of money off of them. They deserve to be paid well. Where my problem lies is on the top end. In particular, the quarterbacks. Dak Prescott turned down $175 million over 5 years. Why?? That is more money than he can ever spend. If you can't spend it, then why do you want it? The team has a salary floor, so they will spend that money regardless. Let them use the money to build a better team around you. I feel like if I was in his position, and had his talent, I would say guarantee me 5 years and $150 million. After that, I would be set for life. Why would I want or need any more? At the end of the 5 years, do it again, for the same money. It's a win-win. You only take away from your team and don't improve your life one bit fighting for more when you're talking about that kind of money.

A bad athlete contract hurts but it's gone after a few years.
Owners like the Ford family can be grossly incompetent and not only get paid for decades, but make a bazillion dollars. And it's almost impossible to get rid of them. Best you can hope for is that the son or daughter is less of an idiot. When players make less, owners make more. And when owners have no downside to lousy performance it tells you that owners, not players, are overpaid. |

Average per kid rate in KC is 10.57 an hour per kid. Hell, I'll even be nice, I'll only charge half of that for the students I saw on the daily (I'll round down, too. Let's do 5.25 an hour.) I had 113 students, so that looks like that translates to a cool $593.25 a day. Since we only get compensated for the time we work anyway, I'll spread that out over nine months like you asked. That translates to roughly... $94,667 a year. Damn - gimme some of that glorified baby sitter compensation, BWillie! |

No. You're paid based on how much money you bring in. You're worth it if you're worth it.

Some guy on Yahoo said since Mahomes already won us a Superbowl, we should cut him and use the money to build a better team.
Yea. |
