2 Points to make:
1. Humans repeat history. Always. Roman emperors created the Coliseum for athletes to compete, so citizens dumbed down, became distracted, changed values and accepted dictatorship.
2. Rich athletes, like most rich people usually spend the money on themselves. Find me one that lives in a 2,000 sq ft house or drives a $30,000 car. If they give to charity, it is their own Golf School, Basketball Camp, etc. A Higher Authority must be troubled with such suffering in the world that could be helped by the money going to personal selfishness. Ever see any athlete going into Chicago and taking on gang/drug violence?
