Sports is about the only thing left that is able to keep Americans pacified -so you can bet your ass TPTB are heavily investing in sport. Follow the money and you will not be surprised. Keep em dosed on meds and watching sports, then continue to drain their bank accounts. All too easy. |

You probably help pay his salary with all your NFL merchandise purchases lol... so sad... lol. you're dumb as shit... and probably queer. see how stupid it is to assume? Technically I'm a Raiders fan, but I can still see how sports and other entertainment is purposefully setup as a distraction for the sheep..... In this case, moderation is key.... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1494785 Canada 08/21/2011 10:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So they give this guy who runs around playing with balls $120 million fucking dollars?? Quoting: BigBalla lmao, this world is so backwards! It should be people like TEACHERS and FIREFIGHTERS getting that kind of money, not worthless-ass jocks! [link to sports.yahoo.com] I agree, the salaries these professional athletes get paid is ridiculous. "Ooh, you can throw a ball through a hoop? Here's 20 million dollars!" "Ooh, you can spend an hour or so a week running around on a field, catching a ball or pushing up against some other guys, here's 120 million dollars!" I can't watch any sports anymore. It's just watching millionaires make money for doing practically nothing. Meanwhile the rest of us bust our asses at work every day for like 0.000001 percent of what these guys get paid. |

It's pretty simple really. These guys can do what 99.9999% of what the rest of the world can't. I think it's outrageous to see these guys make that kind of money when the average joe has so little in comparison, but life isn't fair. Get over it. |

Do you know how many athletic people there are in the world who happen to not be in the NFL? Sure do. I also happen to have met and played casually against quite a few of these athletes that make this kind of money and they are freaks of nature most of them. Sure, some of it is marketing and timing, but the overwhelming majority of those high end athletes have a combination of strength and speed that is rarely seen together. Again, if the owners weren't making at least that much off of these players, they wouldn't give up the contracts. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1351486 United States 08/21/2011 11:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | While football is the greatest sport on our planet, the salaries are getting a bit extreme. I guess that goes for anything in the entertainment industry though. -just think about the old guys who played in the early years of the nfl, what must they must be thinking?? -and no I do not see why a firefighter or a teacher deserves that money either..I think I might deserve half that a year though... |

It's fun once in awhile to see some guys play a ball game together, but today in our society people take it WAAAY too seriously, it's like a disease. Most guys in this country couldn't tell you who their Senators are but could name the entire Cowboys' starting offensive line... |

Check out the catch he made on Friday night. Unbelievable. And I'm a Packers fan; been one all my life, didn't jump on the bandwagon. You'll see that he was playing against the Packers that night.. |

First of all practice makes perfect so for somebody to say 99% cant be crazy good like that is completly wrong. Not only are some people crazy good, but they just dont have an interest in it. In high school gym class I played amazing soccer and dribbled through the whole team without passing the ball. The coach wanted me on the team n said I am already the best player in the school. I refused.. im quite sure with enough practice I woud have bee in fifa already.... There is tons of talent out there but not everybody wants to be a brainless moron. Sports doesnt do anything to humanity. It doesnt advance us. It keeps us stupid and thats what TPTB likes. Also singers and movie actors are overpaid. We are paying millions to people that are just ACTING, not doing anything beneficial to society again. Same with singers. They just fuking sing. Woooow. Anyways I do not support sports, movies, or singers in any way. I do not watch tv much n I never watch sports nor do I go to their games. Im doing my part unfortunatly half of you retards arent. |
