[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1117767, member: 12570"] NO, I think professional athletes salaries are obscene. Granted they have a career that can be very short due to injury but what's it cost for a "working" man to take his kid to a game? [COLOR=#ff0000]Took my son and girlfriend to a Bills/Pats game in Buffalo. Paid $100 each for 3 tickets. The same seats in Foxboro would have $200+. Throw in gas, food and a hotel room for me and the trip was easily $500. Yes, their salaries are obscene, but we have the option of whether we wish to support (aka help pay for) our favorite team by going to their games and buying their merchandise. The problem I do have is when team owners try to use public funds to renovate their existing or build a new facility or when they try to play one city against another, ultimately going with the highest bidder.[/COLOR] Do movie actors deserve $20million to star in a movie? [COLOR=#FF0000]This may surprise you but my answer is yes. Admission to a theater is basically a user fee---you don't want to pay it, don't go to the movies.
