I user to think all professional athletes were grossly overpaid but in general it’s only the “stars” that have the super ridiculous salaries.
An NFL lineman making $2-6 million a year seems crazy except when you consider that the national leagues are difficult to get into and require the highest level of skill/talent (usually… sometimes you get a real turd like Burfict).
An injury could kill their career immediately, and they’re all pretty much speed running an entire 30-40 year career (with salary and retirement savings) in half a dozen seasons.
