Personally, I think all athletes are over paid. They are playing games for a living. Yes, they are extremely good at what they do, but that doesn't mean they should get the kind of money they make. They aren't saving lives. Paying them that much is a joke. IMO, teachers and the men and women of our military should be the highest paid people in this country. Afterall, what would you do without an education or freedom?
I'm a huge sports fan. I love football, automotive racing(pretty much anything except Nascar),good soccer matches and MMA fighting. I also enjoy watching college basketball, golf, baseball and some extreme sports. I have ESPN on the TV for at least an hour a day too. All of this doesn't change my opinion on how rediculously overpaid professional athletes are.
