Ask Kevin Everett if all of the money pro player gets is worth it?
True that, Under Water Welding isn't the most vital job in the world, but it certainly one of the most dangerous, and those guys get paid handsomely for it. Although, not in the same proportion as Athletes. Athletes wages are indeed over inflated, and Im not sure they "deserve" it because of what they do, but the jobs that are created by their performances might be worth it. To be honest Im torn about it. Shouldn't teachers be paid more then athletes? I certainly think so, but at least they create a market within which others benefit.
