Agreed. I get so pissed off every time I think about how much pro athletes get paid and how little teachers get paid!!!!
We've GOT to do something!

Ummm ... you have to take some things into considerations. First of all a pro athlete is most of the times done with his career at 35, a teacher not.
Secondly their parents have spent quite a lot of money when they were just starting their sports, so they need to recuperate that.
I get your frustration, and indeed some of the prices are ridicilous high (soccer players for 900 million euros as trasnfer sum and so on...) but don't take their "job" lightly. In serious sports the amount of training that goes into it is enormous. You basicly have no life between ages 4-20, except train, train and train some more.
They make sacrifices too. So don't think they have it easy and you hard
They only have it easy when they are retired (at 35
)
