The other thing that people don't realize is that these guy work almost seven days a week for six months and more if they get into the playoffs. They are away from home for half that time. Then they get a few months rest and many if not most spend much of that time preparing for the next season.
What does how much someone is getting paid have to do with enjoying watching a sport? Does anyone think, "I'm not going to see that movie because Johnny Depp is making $45million from it?"
