lol.... they aren't all overpaid. Just the ones who can't score a goal. Andy Carrol? Addebayor? Didn't they sign Fat contracts and stink it up for the next couple years? Otherwise athletes are underpaid, if you look at what their bosses are making.
The real fact of the matter that drives the whole discussion. WE, the fans, spend too much money on our teams. If 'we' weren't shilling out $350 for a jersey, or paying insane prices for parking, tickets, soda, and beer. If we didn't order the extra packages on our directv. If the money stopped pouring in, there wouldn't be anything to complain about.
I mean what do you want the teams to do, take what profit they need, then send the rest to charity?
