It would be nice if they did, but they dont and I dont understand why people keep comparing this to that, IT makes no sense at all. The pin hole to get to that level, beit Hockey, BBall, Film, Music whatever, is so small I say let them get what they can.
Cops dont spend their whole life trying to be a cop.
Teachers dont spend their whole life trying to be a teacher.
Dental Assistants go to school ( higher Ed) for what 2 years?
Im glad every day we have the kind of people that decide to be in law enforcement, military, teaching etc. and i wish we paid them more, but we dont.
How many of those that are teachers, cops etc begrudge the "stars" for making more then they do..very few Id say.
The Stars get paid what they do because they supply what only a select few can, escapism for the rest of us bums. Im glad they do, it has given me many memories in the last 40 + years, with my Dad, and with my kids now.
This doesnt mean I think a correction isnt needed in the NHL, cuz it does, but please..this arguement based on other professions payscale is not realisitic.
umm...my sentiments exactly lol
p.s. - didn't see your post because i was temporarily disconnected
