These recent contracts in reality are utterly insane, I think. There's no way we'll see them fully realized in terms of history and all, before certain things happen as they likely will or must in this world. It's a huge waste of money for such a short length of effective time related to each contract, no doubt.
No player in any sport is worth more than 20 million a year, and nobody has been for decades, in my view. What real good is it for a single pro athlete to be paid much more money in a single year than most normal people could make in maybe at least two or three lifetimes for themselves, as pro athletes?
There needs to be a salary cap instituted immediately on all major pro sports teams, and caps on ticket prices. The owners don't need to make hundreds of millions, if not billions, every year, I think. Players don't need eight or nine-figure contracts either for their services, either in the short-term or the long-term, for sure. And fans can no longer afford expensive ticket prices and all in order to attend games they might want to see in person. I think a maximum ticket price of something around 20 dollars per ticket would probably be best here, actually, for adult tickets to games, even for postseason or All-Star games, folks.
Of course, you all can disagree with me here, but with the ways that certain things now are in this world, and in pro sports, at least, the financial waste for contracts and all is insane. I get that many players are quite good players, mind you. But I still think that no player ever actually needs an eight-figure salary per year of their playing careers, or any nine-figure contracts for any potential length of time here in them, most definitely. CD out.
