I agree with ai21, man. The owners need to make it cheaper for the fans, so the players take less. It is simply pathetic that grown men are paid millions to play a game. At the peak of his contract MJ made $300 per second of play after taking his salary, versus time played. That is ridiculous. A top executive who arguably works harder, making 300 an hour at 40 hours a week would still be $504000 for 50 weeks work. And that's a lot, but MJ made 300 a second.
Sadly though, there is nothing we can do. Here's how it works.
A 50 person company makes 50 million. The owner gets 15 million. The 10 C level guys each get 1 mil. And then 40 people at a regular day job split 25 million.
That is how it works only in basketball, they make a few hundred million and split it in about 20 people. So what can we do?
Companies pay out what they make in proportion to the number of employees.
