****ing exactly. Doctor's and scientists should make good bank, not doofus' kicking a ball around for the pleasure of a bunch of screaming yahoos. Football is bloody boring anyway.

They kick the ball from one side to the other and maybe score a few times a match. So in 90+ minutes something exciting happens like once or twice maybe. It's a bunch of fumbling in the dark until something goes in the right way but by then you're not even into it anymore and you just awkwardly fake it for 5 minutes.

You sound like an american. Soccer and Tennis, more than any other sport, showcase the best athletes on the planet.

Who are you to determine the importance of that?
Athletes wouldn't make the millions they do if you obsessed peasants would quit drooling over them and their past-times. Buddy wants to make millions from kicking a ball or swinging a club, more power to him. It's the viewers and the fans who make them rich.
Same goes for movie stars, rock stars, and the previous owner of that ugly painting that sold for $300 million for some reason.
XD
Like captaine America ! Fighting drugs for good even if well you know....
There is also TV presentator especialy D8 and TF1 presentator very well payed for doing somekind of MTV things.... Good lyers.... People working for the CIA because CIA or NSA buy your silence.....
Actully now soccer have an excuse to be watch :
" Swedish soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic -- considered one of the best players in the world -- just ripped Team USA soccer ... at least, we think he did."
Just alone He is also part of The PSG Paris Saint-Germain a regional team... Employed by the prince of the Qatar who love soccer, this man have beenable to
put a goal fom themide terran while doing accrobatic things than even in street fighter 2... Well nevermind....
There many Joke about him because he was the pride of the PSG... When the National team was up and ready for a match many people where saying yhea with Zlatan in attack we will break them 10/0..
-Err Zlatan work the PSG sir.
-Ho shit...
While having a nice personality (he is really arrogant...) he is the best player in the world and the only one that deserve to bee watched in my opinion...
So may in the future other players will look like him.. Or if not we can hope than they will include bionic augmentation needed tocompete against him....
XD in the Guignol de l'info there is a sub name Shaoline soccer.
4 goals like this blam blamblam The UK give up in 15 minutes....
I'm schearching the gag where he is training but the ball kill themself all alone because they fear Zlatan. So he take a bowling ball... But the goal run away so explode a space station with the bowling bowl XD !
If you the equivvalent of Mike tyson or chuck norriss in soccer don't chearch too far..

Emphasis bold. That reasoning applies to every single profession in the world. Doctors wouldn't make what they make if it wasn't for the patients. Lawyers wouldn't make what they make if it wasn't for their clients. The negativity towards athletes on this forum is quite amusing. Surely if "sports" are a waste of time, the majority of college professors shouldn't be getting paid what they're getting paid either. Or we can just continue to rationalize what we don't like and ignore supply and demand.

With sufficient training, any one can be an effective teacher.

Our population is retarded because they don't give a ****. The ones who care like most Asian-Americans still thrive in our schooling system regardless of their teachers. But even if I let you have the point, if you think there are teachers screwing up then why are the results good enough for you to be arguing for higher pay?
The POTUS is determined by voters, has never been a main source of income for any one and has a short limit of how long you can be it. This is such an anomaly to every other occupation that it shouldn't be used as an example.
If you want to use a doctor for an example, I'll concede that it is an occupation that takes willpower to the point that only a select few of the population can match. But there's even a less few that can pull of the physical feats that these athletes can that willpower and natural skill aren't even enough.
