Suck all you want, you'll still get rich...

dalegg, Don't get started on what pro sports players get..argh!! Must be nice to do something you love to do (yes, even with the grueling practices, being away from family,etc...after all, it was their choice.) and get paid millions upon millions. I WISH! Same with celebs and singers, etc. actually. Entertainment industry...must be nice to have that kinda talent...especially when, for a lot of people (tho not all) they were born with it, and just nursed that talent/looks/whatever.

The main difference between entertainers and pro sports, of course, being that the entertainers don't have taxpayers foot the bills for their venues. That is what makes me angry is when local taxes go up to pay for stadium construction, then mainenance, improvements, etc. while the cities and counties that pay for it don't get any say so in terms of the use of the facilities which stand empty and do nothing but cost taxpayer money most of the year while the pro sports teams rake in the big bucks to award ridiculous contracts to their players. This taxpayer subsidized wealth really makes my blood boil.

Very true, and very annoying. Didn't even think of that difference before! M.
