Lmao the reason athletes get paid a bunch is because people are mornic enough to spend a shit ton of money on the sports industry, ergo they are highly valued in the market. No theft involved, theyre just reaping the benefits of the millions and millions of sports jocks out there spending all that money on a literal game. So either blame the system or blame the idiots who actually help fund hundreds of millions of dollars for a damn game. What you expect these athletes to do, not take the money? Please. Furtheremore it's well documented athletes donates a higher percentage of their income to charities than pretty much any other profession. But hey, we know you're here to troll so I'll leave you to it That's only part of the story. ESPN, for example, has so much weight that they can throw around, that they force cable companies to charge ALL subscribers to pay a "sports fee" to pay for ESPN, even if those subscribers don't watch ESPN at all. They can get away with it because they can threaten to pull ESPN from that cable company's offerings completely. --- :D https://imgur.com/a/FU9H8 <cite>1337toothbrush posted [p:884736029] in A couple i...

We live in an age where games come in bundles, sometimes to the point of literally being worth a dime a dozen. Tons of musicians, artists, video creators, etc put their works up on the internet for free just in the hopes of getting noticed. In the internet age, replication, distribution, and even creation are all easy and cheap. There's enough free entertainment out there that would last anyone several lifetimes. The reality is that laws are written to try and restrict that supply. --- :D https://imgur.com/a/FU9H8 <cite>1337toothbrush posted [p:884736176] in A couple i...

TheVipaGTS 08/14/17 1:11:58 AM #59:	i don't like this argument..."wow! an athlete makes more than a doctor! they should be making less!"...why is it always hate filled "THEY SHOULD MAKE LESS" rather than..."its irrelevant to bring up the athlete...I think doctors should make more".... The NBA, for example, is its own league that makes millions on their games. The players are compensated for being the MAIN REASON a private company makes MILLIONS and get a portion of that money. its what determines max salaries and the salary cap. If the owner of a team wants to pay an athlete 200 million because he is helping make his team Billions, what's wrong with that? How does that have any affect on what a doctor makes and why are you trying to tie the two together? <cite>TheVipaGTS posted [p:884736526] in A couple i...

I consider it an inefficiency of the capitalist system that people can get filthy rich without actually benefiting society. A pro-athlete or a youtuber should not be making 50x more than a heart surgeon. Ah. I see you don't understand economics. Oh, I understand it. I just think it is flawed from a utilitarian and ethical perspective. I am not proposing any sort of solution, I am just bitching about it. The life of a surgeon is worth more than the life of a basketball player, and their place in society should reflect that.
