Ever think it's sad what America values the most? I'm talking about 250 million for a guy who can smack a baseball, or 186 million for a guy who can dunk a basketball. 20 million for a guy who acts in a lousy movie, or 500,000 an episode for a totally talentless sitcom.
To me, it reaks of softness and weak priorities. I know, I know, it's just the way things are here. And I also realize I am pointing out the obvious. I just think that these overpaid periferal distractions are not what makes out country great, not even close. It couldn't be more clear what the over commercialization of our country has created. A class of people, who without any worldclass talent make more money than many who work 10 times as hard, and actually contribute to our nations greater good.
Believe me, I'm a major sports fan and I have my favorite teams and athletes like most of you. There's plenty of great actors too, I just think that when someone who does so little, and gets paid so much, shows a somewhat sad set of priorities.
What do you think?
