American Football is much the same. WAY over payed players who are so babied and steroid filled that they could never play against the old guys, like Mike Ditka, and others.
Way overdue, common sense salaries for sports players who are little more than entertainers. They pay millions of dollars to a guy who uses dogs to fight one another for his amusement just because he can throw a decent spiral yet police officers, fireman, teachers, etc. barely make liveable wages.
