Fixed

  1. The product is only worth what the consumer is willing to pay for it.
  2. The owner will only pay the player what he knows he can and still make adequate profit.

teachers dont get paid shyt and athletes are the richest people in this country

The same people complaining about buying books for $100 will gladly shell out $3,000 court-side seats at sporting events.

Until YOU, the consumer, get your priority straight teachers will continue to make $30,000 while athletes make $30,000,000.

Like i said many times I've witnessed a man wearring a $200 jersey sit there and complain about a $35 copay at the doctors office for his son's injuries. :mindblown:

Don't go down this road breh :ufdup:


Everyone gets exactly what they are worth

Yes, this is true. Nobody isn't wanting to watch me do health care finance but something like Canelo vs Trout this weekend, people do want to watch that. I'm not bringing in advertising dollars. They are. :manny:

he's right though, the fact that teachers are not paid more EVERYWHERE in the world is totally insane, I mean NOTHING can happen without education. And we see what happens with lack of proper education.

And no, everyone does NOT get exactly what they are worth.

Self education >>> Institutional indoctrination.

They are public servants and let's not forget the time off they get when school is over.

Everyone in the Western World get's exactly what they are worth. Nothing more, nothing less

i was puttin it in perspective

the payoff of putting out successful students and members of society is greater than the Super Bowl or any other event

i feel you tho since sports is a billion dollar business it goes 1n1 with how they gettin paid

Most athletes aren't exactly educated... and not just in the US.
Most soccer stars don't even finish high school :beli:

And what about the various kids that are given a perfect education and still don't amount to shyt because they don't care to?

Even now in school I teach myself damn near everything using my Finance and Accounting textbooks and google. 3.8 GPA to. The professors are useless :yeshrug:.

We start paying teachers a million a year and then what? Is our society going to be overwhelmed with Engineers, Astronauts, and Investment Bankers who are getting paid less than the very teachers that arent capable of doing what they do? No and even if it was it would be a bad thing because we wouldnt have any average people willing to bag groceries at the local supermarket, teach the future kids or handle your tech support inquiries. Society is beautiful that way; it works.

Supply and Demand.

Anybody can go through the motions and learn how to be a good teacher.
How many nikkas can really pull a 360 windmill off, throw 70 yards down a field or hit a baseball 350 ft away when its coming at a speed of 90 mph?

Come on man. When I was 6 years old I used to think the same way you do. Then I grew up and realized that if anything athletes are underpaid.
