    Insane amount of money. This only shows the ever-so-expanding gaping hole between the rich and the poor. I believe that there should be both a salary cap and floor. Cap to stop the spending franchises from relying on the FA market too often. Floor in order to make the cheap owners spend money on their team.

    It's entertainment. The people are the people who pay for it, by going to the games, and buying food there.

    Maybe if the police station started selling tickets to drug busts and sold food there, they'd be paid more

    Great point. I'd pay to go see it first hand instead of sitting in front of my television watching it happen...

    Same with doctors, soccer players paid more than them.

    But, in the end, I guess it is just life for you...

    Life is unfair.
