Professional Athletes and Rags to Riches

[El Blanco]

This is a capitalist system. Atheletes make these huge salaries because people are willing to pay for it. People get upset because these salaries get flaunted in front of us. Of course, when some of these guys do stupid shit, it doesn't help.

Same goes for CEOs and such. I know a lot of you hate to admit this, but they do earn their money. You have to bust your ass to get that far. Connections might get you in the door, but all the true power people. They get those huge salaries with off the wall bonuses because its what they are promised in their contracts.

This is not to say that the bastards who screwed over the Enron investors and employees shouldn't be dragged through the streets and hanged by their toes.
