The fact is well known but your numbers are simply killing it. It has honestly always been ridiculous to me how much people earn just to do some sports...
Sure they are very good at it but does that rectify a salary of more than 10 to 50x compared to everyone else? I definitely don't think so and am as well of the opinion that this money could be used in coubtless better ways. Hiring Scientists are just one example.
Definitely, I could write a whole year blogs about what great things could be achieved by that kind of an investment =)
