actually the "minimum wage" sports athelete brings in little to no revenue at all and still rakes in $300,00-2 million a year depending on the sport.. Theres bench players on certain teams that wont sell a single jersey but still making more money in a year than you will in 10.
Another thing is for certain sales reps for companies like Verizon, AT&T or even personal bankers or car sales people, bringing in more profit + revenue than 90% of athletes playing today outside the obvious Lebrons, Kobes, etc.
For instance when I worked at AT&T and Verizon I was bringing in millions of dollars of revenue a year, millions of profit over the course of the years I worked there rolling over with contracts. Even someone as popular as say Frank Gore for the 49ers I doubt has generated as much revenue / profit as I did working for those companies.
to put things in perspective I was doing around 100-200 contracts a month working for them. Sometimes even more. Even at average price of $100 a contract (low ball, since everyone has multiple devices + family plan now) thats still $20,000 a month in revenue. Of course 12 months a year, brings to a LOW BALL # of $3.6 million in revenue in Verizon/AT&T contract sales a year. Each plan is 2 years of course, so 7.2 million for the contracts (low ball #'s). Again this doesnt count the 4-7 accessories I average per sale (where majority of the profit is made. We got the chargers for $1 a piece at most and sold them for $20-30 a piece). Doesn't include services I sold like U-Verse or Tablets, etc.
just off CELL PHONE contracts I was doing AT WORST $3.6 million in revenue a year at AT&T or Verizon. AT WORST.
Do you think Carlos Hyde has brought in 3.6 million revenue to the 49ers this year?
Do you think Carlos Boozer jersey sales will amount to 3.6 million this year?
Do you think Steve Blake will bring in 3.6 million worth of ticket sales this year ?
of fukking course not.
Yet Carlos Boozer will make $14 million this year. More money in 1 year then I will probably see in my entire life.
Yet my work brought in more money than Carlos Boozer.
If you dont see something horribly wrong with that, then fukk you and everyone else with your kind of thinking.
NOBODY playing sports deserves that much. NOBODY.
Not the owners, not no one.
Top end athletes should make $1-2 million a year, owners not much more than that, everyone else $50-100k a year and the rest of the proceeds should go to making the world a better place (if this was a perfect world, but its not, so it wont happen).
Yall love sucking these athletes dikks, man no one deserves millions to play a sport, ive never heard anyone over the age of 25 ever disagree unless they a bummy mafukka anyway
we want to fix the world, but no one wants to spend the actual money to fix it.
Kevin Garnett made $330 million a year shooting a cot damn basketball in a cotdamn hoop. Trouts gonna get a $300 million contract for hitting a cot damn baseball. NO ONE deserves that kind of money for sports. NO ONE. Theres no rational way to explain it.
$330 million !! That could save entire countries ! But ONE person has amassed that bringing NOTHING to the table of life outside of entertainment NO DIFFERENT than we could create ourselves at our local gym
Revenue? A lot of people bring in a lot of revenue to their jobs, yet making $60k a year at best. Its not a valid excuse and never will be. Stop caping for these garbage ass sports owners and players
some of the posts in here is why the world will always be a fukked place
going to have to do some studying breh props
