"If a surgeon could get 70,000 people to pay $150 each to watch and have companies pay millions to advertise while he operates, he would make the same money as a professional quarterback."
and there in lies the root of the misplaced value that people place on escapist entertainment. That these fine 70K will pony up that $150 per game (min) .... and then bitch an moan about the amount paid to a teacher (after all they just educate our youth) or a Fireman (after all they just run into burning buildings to save those that can not run out) or a Policeman (after all they just protect us)
