Comments from Paul to Justin

Extremely informative in terms of the salaries of professional sports. The issue I believe is not so much what they make, but the fact that the American public still contributes to this amount being paid to professional atheletes. On 60 Minutes on Sunday, Ed Bradley interviewed Michael Jordan and although I know when we speak of the money that athletes make it is more because of the economic disparities and the fact that is places an unrealistic goal to much of today's inner city youth, that they will, "make it" to professional sports, when only the smallest of small percentages of athletes make it. Jordan stated on Sunday that the NBA is crumbling, because of the salaries being paid to athletes, without earning anything. Professional sports in the country is made into a "god", and is thought that it is the solution for all of lifes problems. Once again, when entertainment is worshiped there will always be dire consequences.
