Why do I think pro athletes are overpaid? It is pretty simple. The players without a doubt are being way overpaid for playing a game that they love to play. Pro athletes making millions a year is just obsurd.
A prime example is Randy Moss. He was fined 25k for giving the media the silent treatment. Do you think it made him think twice about talking to the media? Obviously not. Today he basically mocked the NFL by conducting his own questions, and answers.
He refuses to answer any questions directly from the media the rest of the season. It will most likely cause him a 25k fine every week to the end of the season. He doesn't care. He makes so much money that 25k is nothing. Most players probably spend that one night out on the town.
Until the pro leagues understand that fines don't deter players one bit. Most will pay the fines, and not even think twice about it. The leagues really need to do something that will make players change. Game suspensions need to start happening instead of fines. No player wants to sit out a game they love to play.
It is the best way to get players to change. Suspensions will make it happen almost overnight.
Do you believe pro athletes laugh at the fines they receive compared to their salaries?
