Athletes getting paid millions just to play a game while Im busting my back at a real job making far less. FML

I think the animosity toward athlete salaries is really better focused on the owners of those teams. At least the athletes have to legitimately work their asses off and be extremely talented to have a shot at what's a relatively short window of time to make that money - and they are the product! Whatever amount of money is being divvied up between a few thousand athletes (just thinking big 4 American sports, for reference), approx that same amount is getting divvied up between a few hundred owners - largely already-rich people buying already-established franchises and bending cities over a barrel demanding billions in tax dollars to fund their new stadiums.
