The headline said some thing about NBA guards getting paid $38 million a year. I didn’t bother looking to see what it was about. I don’t watch professional sports. At this point I don’t watch sports at all. I have a life.
All I can say is more power to you. If in the system of free enterprise the National Basketball Association teams can you forward to pay those kind of salaries and still stay solvent then go for it. The only thing that would disturb me is if I heard that they were getting a government subsidy through USAID or some other rip off. If there are enough sports junkies in this country to buy the products from the advertisers who pay the teams to employ these athletes then I salute them. I have no envy. My bills are paid, I have food in the pantry and more important, my children have turned out well. I wish them the same sense of joy and purpose that I have. I have a feeling it won’t depend on the number of zeros in your paycheck.
That doesn’t mean I will buy what they advertise but I would not know since I don’t watch.
