It's very sad these team owners can't give some of this money to things that really matter like health issues disease issues, etc!

In my opinion, there is no human being on earth, in ANY profession who is worth that kind of money! What a gigantic waste of resources! These team owners should be embarrassed to display such silliness.

Set a salary cap for each player at $50,000 for any type of professional sports. maybe then I can afford to take my wife and daughter to a game. hopefully the beers won't be $10 hot dogs won't be $10. $80- $100 per person tickets or more. + Parking. Then they still expect the people to pay for new stadiums when a 30 years old one is not good enough anymore.

I would be willing to cap at a million for their entire career. No one needs more than that, to live comfortably, especially if they invest wisely.

Ducky I think that you hit the nail on the head, except many of these people do not invest wisely. If their going to the pros, there should be an automatic class in money handling and investment strategy.

I know a former NHL player who became a financial advisor because he saw so much of that. Kids get an entry level contract for $800,000 and blow through it in less than a year. He tries to steer them in the right direction. They should listen because he is now a multi-millionaire due to learning how to invest!
