You get no sympathy unless you can run a sub 4.4 40 or bench press 225 lbs 30+ times or vertical jump 40 + inches. What can I say that "All Men are Created Equal" is a crock. It's Darwinian theory, the smartest and most athletic of the human race have it easier than the rest of us. I personally don't have a problem with what athletes make. They have a skill set the rest of us don't have. So do actors that make $20 MM per film. So do brain surgeons. We are in a free market society that works on the principal of supply and demand. Athletes of professional ability are in short supply and extremely high demand, thus, the mulimillions and the ability to whine about not making enough.
