    I agree, but the money has to come from somewhere. Athletes generate the money they are paid, and they generate a lot so they get paid accordingly.

    I don’t think that we are equating profit generated as value. It’s just a fact that athletes make lots of money because they generate it.

    I think that what should happen is that the organizations/teams that are making billions should be taxed higher or something equivalent and those funds should go to under paid professionals like teachers. But, I don’t think that athletes should make less because there’s enough extra profits that both can exist.
