I can't argue with that, but actors get more because they put egos out there that have people watching their every step. They have zero privacy, when people are addicted to an actor, they are willing to do anything to see them so a movie director will buy them with whatever amount of money they can to get them in their movie. Camera men are a dime a dozen but famous people aren't.

People come to watch movies for the actors and not the camera men, so even though they might be good, they are paid A LOT less.

basketball and baseball players are very overpaid. sure, they play a lot more, but they dont put themselves at harm every game like american football players do. but, since they have more games then football players, it generates more ticket sales, which generates more money for the players, so this is something that, unfortunately, can't be helped, because if football players played as often as the other two, they'd drop dead at 50

well, some of them still do drop dead at 50 .

I just think it's unfair that we've created a system where we worship someone who can throw a ball or catch a ball or whatever and pay them millions to do it but a lot of other professions that are more important to society (teachers, cops, firemen, etc) don't get paid nearly enough for how difficult and worthwhile their jobs are.

I understand peoples arguments when it comes to the outstanding sums of money a pro athlete makes. I believe they make way to much money, but it is because of it's huge fan base there's no doubt. But why not lower the salary cap and donate a larger portion to charity or to teacher salaries in the area?

I just made a thread yesterday regarding the same kind of issue, but more pertaining to the relation of Teachers vs. Entertainment industry

If we would give even a fraction of the funds accumulated by these organizations to our education department, imagine all of the intelligent young adults that we would start to see? I mean a world with good grammar!!! Come on... maybe im just a dreamer

yeah, I'm gonna close this and let the other thread take over this discussion....

it deals with more than just athletes salaries which I think is important.
