Who cares if they run a 4.4 if I can find the drug to cure diabetes? Clearly the $400 Billion we spend each year on treating this condition is trivial compared to making the most expensive kneel down in history. I will defend the free market, but not this crap.

So how many of you posters here think that we pay the public school teachers too much so that we can afford to pay these louts? Or how about our brave military who make that last measure of sacrifice so that these numbskulls can pretend to "battle it out" every Sunday? Stockman? Cher? The relative value proposition you make is indefensable. Show me one of these guys who would walk away from the game if they were making one tenth the current salary. You can't because they would still make more than at Wendy's, where they'd be hard pressed to hold down a job. This kind of undeserving hero worshiping excess is how Rome, Greece, China, Germany and now the US fall from global domination into the despised and wretched embarrassment of history. Thanks a lot.
