As a mild tangent, if you really want to get angry, consider how much we pay our entertainers and athletes. I heard on the radio the other day that the average NBA player's salary is $5 million a year. Just an average, bench-riding athlete. Any way the second-string forward on your local team is worth 100 teachers? That really chaps my a$$.


To be fair, athletes/entertainers get paid those absurd sums of money because the teams(owners) still manage to sell tickets. I much rather see the athletes/entertainers getting a big chunk of that revenue than the owners.
What we should be outraged for is ticket prices to games and shows.
