#8 the people who really need the money

I had a talk with my father about a month ago and we were talking about sports and how ridiculous it is for people who have a career in entertainment make so much money just from enjoyment. A professional football player make an average of $1.9 million per year with only 11 minutes of action per game. An NBA player makes $5.15 million per year, an MLB player makes $3.2 million per year and an NHL player makes $2.4 million per year. Just looking at this makes me kind of mad because they aren't saving anyones life or keeping people out of jail, they have these jobs because of a talent, for us people to watch and enjoy a game. Even actors, actresses and musicians are the same! They aren't making movies or music to save a life. Celebrities use the money they get basically from us to give to hospitals or people in Africa or something. I dot have anything against that of course but its the way they make that money gets me kind of mad. A nurse, doctor, surgeon, lawyer and even a teacher work so hard to support strangers to grow to be successful, be prove innocence or to stay alive. Do you think celebrities like Brad Pitt, Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian (who is certainly a big part of this) can save a live? They don't even make their own dinners or do their own hair and makeup. Yes, they make a lot of money from movie premiere weekends but they have so much of that money and a nurse is barely home to have dinner with her kids because she is working so hard, doing her job responding to patients and saving money to use on her kids for food or school or health.

I am amazed that a professional football player has so much money and is so stupid to use his fame and money to either buy drugs, hurt women, murder and many other things and aren't sent to jail for years because they can pay their bail every time they get locked up. I have strong feelings against pro football players because they don't get action, they don't get punched in the face, loose teeth, get stitches and go back into the game 5 minutes later. Thats why I enjoy college sports a little more than pro because they don't get stupidly rich. They are students, they still have academics to achieve. (Not the point)

I don't know if this bothers anyone else but it surely bothers me. I truly do truly think about the people who struggle vs professional and celebrities and about how much common people struggle and I wish there is a change.
