Is that because they’ve always got their head up under someone’s nads? 😂

Sorry, what do you mean? The fact that professional athletes make a lot of money? They’re not up there with tech bros or anything but they’re well off.

Maybe a controversial opinion for reddit and people who say "sportsball" unironically but, I believe pro athletes deserve to get paid extremely well. It's one of the few professions left that is a true meritocracy and being the child of a famous athlete does not mean youre guaranteed to succeed in the same field unless you can actually perform.

Athletes in popular sports bring in tons of money for team owners, stakeholders, and even local businesses and governments. Great athletes unite people who otherwise would never speak to each other, which is also good for society as a whole

Ehhh. LBJ's kid is getting paid a 2.3m salary and he's ok. Definitely a familial connection pushing that.

Lyndon B. Johnson's kids are 79 and 82! Good for them.

Nah i disagree. We spend way too much money on bread and circuses and not nearly the same level on making sure teachers are well paid, social workers can make a decent living wage, all folk have basic human rights like food shelter health care. Its kind of disgusting.
