I think people also only think about the major team/individual sports when talking about pro athletes.
There are a lot of “pro athletes” who don’t make shit, because they play in leagues that don’t generate huge profits.
If we’re going to compare what NFL, MLB, NBA, etc players make to teachers or similar professions, then we shouldn’t compare them to the teachers at your local public elementary school. We should compare them to teachers with doctorates at the elite level selective prep schools. Obviously, these athletes will still be paid more but it’s a more accurate comparison.
