41A certain Mr. Szlyk used to walk around with a staple gun firing it at people and I didn't dodge fast enough a couple of times. Fortunately staples are just not very aerodynamic.Have you ever accidentally stapled a body part?
42So long as people are willing to pay the ticket prices and companies willing to pay for sponsorship, I don't think athletes are overpaid for what they do. In fact, there are sometimes cases for them being underpaid compared to what the team "owners" get. There was an analysis a couple of years ago of Michael Jordan's career that estimated he direcctly or indirectly contributed to about $1 billion in income to different people or companies, for him to get a decent chunk of that change of that seems pretty reasonable to me.

The overpayment part for me comes into the relative valuation of different activities, for example the fact that Michael Jordan's one-year salary alone would've covered the expenses of 1000 Rhodes scholars. Though I find it kind of disgusting, the only way to change it is to encourage people to think about their values.
Do you think that professional athletes are overpaid for what they do?
