I can accept that professional athletes make ungodly sums of money. I am not really sure why, and I do not really care why. It does not bother me that Randy Moss looks at a $10,000 fine in the same way I would look at losing a dollar bill in a hole in my pocket. (His being rude and a jackass does, but that’s a different matter.)
What does bother me are the athlete’s that sign a contract, and then cry when things don’t go their way. Or ones that are so dumb, they would go joyriding or stunt driving on a motorcycle despite there (probably) being wording in their contract against such things. At least he had a helmet on. Oh wait, it wasn’t strapped…
If you sign a contract and are being paid to do something, then you should do it to the best of your abilities. What is required is a decent work ethic, which most athletes seem to have but the news tends to focus on the ones that make fools of themselves.
