About everything!! The entire world caters to them (higher pay, strib clubs & brothels EVERYWHERE, ESPN!), and they are still not satisfied.

It is very sad that they would walk out over money, however....do you know that the average income in Togo is less than $400 a yr? For what the country (team?) is getting paid for the appearance the can afford to set the players up for life! It is all well and good to say "do it for pride" but this is THE opportunity of a life time for these guys, maybe the only chance they would have to help their families. We could say we would do it for free but we obviously all have computers (that probably cost at leat 5 yr annual income for them) and enough to eat!!!

Sounds like every problem of every country,and there are no answers without greed and malaise being removed .why bother with the whole problem when even a small portion cannot be made better.world law on matters of decency is a option,but years away.

that is the best question i have read so far. i guess they are to busy bragging about what they do right that they never notice what the guys do right. (no offense to you or anything)

this is something that is kept very hush hush if there are any. i don't know if there are any that do. some of them chew..\ni think they all keep it quiet if they do, b/c well, it's just not an image the sport wants out there.. \nin the old days they did though.

Well, here's the thing.  If you think players are making ridiculous amounts of money (and I agree), what about the owners?  The owners are the ones that can afford to pay them this money.  On the one hand, I'd rather see the players make more money than the owners; however, I do think they are overpaid considering they are only playing a game.  \n\nRemember in Field of Dreams when Shoeless Joe says, "Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money. It was the game... The sounds, the smells. Did you ever hold a ball or a glove to your face? ..... It was the crowd, rising to their feet when the ball was hit deep. Shoot, I'd play for nothing!"  That's the kind of love for the game that has been missing in recent years.  It became about contract years and free agency, not just pure, simple love of the game.\n\nShould they get paid?  Yeah, it's their job.  Should they be paid millions of dollars?  I don't think so.  My job can be just as dangerous.  I have just as much chance getting injured as a player.  Do I matter less because I'm not in the limelight?  I'm having trouble walking right now because I got banged up at a softball game Wednesday night, but I'm still going to be heading to work in about an hour and a half, getting paid $10/hr to help people shop.  I don't expect to sit down and still get paid today.\n\nThe good thing is that a lot of players do not blow all their money on themselves.  Many of them have set up foundations and charities to help the underpriviledged.  I don't mind those players making a ton of money.  In fact, I'd rather see those players make more than anybody else for the simple fact that they have more to give away.

Doormat: Clearly they don't do all the work... .but you're horribly naive if you think most of them own restaurants and are rich...  11 million are here and the vast majority work in fields... maybe you should stop watching fox news and watch anything that has some truth in it... or where do you get your news... or do you even watch the news?\n\nYou can cry about media being "bias" all day... but the ones who cry about the bias will be the ones who usher in a dictator, because they will only believe what one source says... do you believe all these things in the media are lies... they are told by many different sources and most find the same answers... everyone is not out to get you... they are out to tell the truth.... hide from it if you want, but people will find it out...

Generally people can’t get satisfied with what they got...\nSo they feel what has gone was better than the present

I think it's absolute nonsense. They should be paid a normal wage like everyone else. Isn't it good enough that they get to do what they love for a living?

WOW!  Well put and well said.  You are so right.  I am so sick and tired of hearing their whining and BS that "they only want a better life" no matter what crime they commit.  That seems to be standard response number 1.  Clearly, there is a huge double standard.

Too darned right Grumpy. We've just got to admit it they're crap and haven't got a clue what's in front of them.\nBut then again they're probably eyeing up the latest 'hunk' rather than doing their job!

I think they are. But mainly in the field of baseball. When players go on strike because they are not getting paid what they think they are worth, which in most cases is grossly exaggerated, everybody gets mad. The players because " WE WANT MORE MONEY OR WE DON"T PLAY", the owners because they are losing money, and us fans, because they are getting paid for our entertainment. Every sport should be like football and have a salary cap. Did you know the New York Yankees are worth over 1 billion dollars? Isn't that a bit ridiculous? That's why they are so good. They can buy all their players. But every time they complain they get there way. PRO SPORTS PLAYERS ARE GETTING WAY TOO MUCH MONEY!!!!

When you make all that money just to play a game, and millions of people watch sports, before long you get to thinking they are just there to see you play. You get the big head, and your ego goes crazy. Same thing that happens with those overpaid actors in Hellywood. It's all ego and sinfull pride.

Some people just really like balls, so they are nactually not watching the people at all. It sure makes no sense for us to work our balls off trying to make a living then go pay a ton to watch a bunch of people do exactly what you are asking about and get paid more for in one year of playing than we may make in a lifetime.\n\nOnce we are all hooked on Yahoo Answers, they will charge as well.
