Overpaid Athletes
I guess by overpaid, I really just mean paid.
The economy is dying.
Big businesses are falling into despair and asking for the government to bail them out.
Athletes are making $10 trillion dollars a second.
What for? Playing a game?
Honestly, if you pay some football idiot a million dollars, he should never miss a pass. Ever. I mean honestly, if you found some guy who has never and will never drop a football, give him one million dollars. That would probably be worth it. But to excessively pay these people to play a sport just boggles my mind.
Granted, movie stars are payed a ridiculous amount as well, but mind you, I’m not defending anyone who gets payed a disgusting amount of money.
I just think that athletes are not only overpaid, but I find it amusing that they are paid at all. You’ve got people cleaning crap up for minimum wage, doing something they despise everyday. Then you pay someone to play a game. I’ll destroy you at “Guess Who”, give me 1.7 mill.

Overpaid… yes. But here’s the deal those athletes sell tickets, those ticket sales fuels the economy, that economy effects you. Not everyone can be paid in peeps.

Did you know football players get paid weekly every Monday? They may have a contract for 2.5 million a year, but after taxes, manager fee’s, productivity differences, and so forth they may only take home a $125,000 check each week. I don’t know man, that seems pretty rough….

Yeah man, John was the MAN back in high school! Those were the days. Beer, parents paying for nearly everything, and sluts. All of it was worth it for the underpaid factory/warehouse job he has now.

I’m sure you got all sorts of Pussy. Yup, you can always tell the guys who got tons of ass are the guys that brag about it the most. Tell me this John Fraternity. Did you ever get any pussy that didn’t involve an insane amount of alcohol or ruffies? Yeahhhhh, Date Rape rules. Now I have to go wear my hat sideways and sport my cool weird colored polo with the arms short enough so that people can check out my totally original tribal arm band tattoo.
