The problem is not the players getting paid those salaries. Some of them deserve it because they train hard everyday to stay on the top in order to be the best in their sports. The problem here is society systems that categorize some types of people, ruling for what they worth.

Athletes are paid on performance-based while people in other fields (teachers, doctors, so on) fall wrongly in that unfair categorization. Unless they work on their own, they're going to be treated professionally and economically just like their pairs no matter if some of them stand out from the rest.

And we know that everybody have different skills and capacities. And that's where the unfairness lies on. We can talk about priorities and level of importance regarding to careers or professions. But that's very subjective. We tend to grant importance to those things we feel attach to, which is printed in our personalities.

On the other hand, I totally agree about the excess that surrounds sports, turning it into only business focus. The fans have just been turned into a vehicle to attract contracts like TV rights and other commercial enterprises. And also, some athletes have forgot about the loyalty and respect toward the fans who actually raise them to the status of stars.
