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.

Yeah, but have you thought about the risk they take on owning these behemoth sports franchises???

Yup, must be tough. So risky that they're all unanimously afraid to sell.

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.

I used to think the exact same way about teachers. Then I had kids.

We pay extra for my kid to go to a private school. Those teachers are worth every penny they make.

My kids went to a private fine arts preschool and have been in an excellent charter system, in which the parents donate not only a lot of money, but at least 100 hours of service, and it's worth every cent and every second.

Great teachers make all the difference in the world to children of all ages.

Dude! Then compensate me like a baby-sitter, brosky.

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!

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.

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

Ian Kennedy doesn’t bring anyone in. Neither did Eric Berry sitting in his street clothes.
