Why or How we as people of this great country let "sport entertainment" people make in a matter of minutes in one game when it takes the entire year for a hard worker to make....Our cops,firemen, state workers , county\parish workers etc etc etc that make this world go around make in a year what a "ball player" makes in minutes.
Just doesn't seem right.........We just held a benefit to help a firemen's family with bills after his off duty murder.....The lewis\tyson fight a good example ..$2,400 ring side sets......$200\300 for good football seats........WE pay it they get it????????

    "...foundated...??????"

    No skin off my * what these folks earn. They don't get any of my money; at least not directly.
