Stop paying athletes so damned much, they aren't worth it! Personally, every professional athlete I have met is an asshole who thinks the world owes them. Coincidence? Maybe, but its the truth. I do not patronize any sports events that charge ridiculous ticket prices (anything over $10). I will never give them any money because I think it is ridiculous to pay a person millions of dollars for one season of play. I do not watch football or baseball or soccer or basketball games. They don't send me a check and they don't earn my respect, so why should I? They can remove every one of them from being televised and it would only make me happy.
