Summary

So what's up with professional athletes today? $20-$30-$40 million dollars a year and they want to leave they're teams? That's not enough?

When is enough enough and when does management at the team level get back in control? Aren't they the ones paying the salaries after all? What do you think? Are you inclined to watch more or less sports today than you did just a few years back? Let me know. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
