Yes, getting ripped off for a $5 T-shirt at $15 is showing your support for a bunch of players who don't know that you even exist. For suckers only. And btw, cnvertble98, you may be right.

Then you would be paying $5.00 too much.

Only people in Miami and Seattle will buy these shirts. They won't sell anywhere else.

Yea, I dunno if it's because I'm getting older, but I'm getting more angry and annoyed at these multimillionaire sports players who make more in 1 day that I make in ~3 years. And yet I'm considered well paid? Exactly what do any of these self-absorbed freaks do that benefits society to the point of their salary?

They attract money. People pay for this crap, pay to watch grown men throw a rubber ball into a hole. There's very little they add to society except entertainment. People love watching this.....for what reason I'll never know.
They EARN money and hence deserve to be paid what they are. The day everyone refuses to pay $100s of dollars to watch them is the day they won't make this kind of money. Instead of letting it bother you, figure out way to increase your own pay. Hating someone else is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die.

Who is talking about "hate" except you opathal? If suckers pay alot to watch them that's just business. We are not damaged unless we participate in the nonsense. But hating? Hardly.

Lebron, "I know Michael Jordan, and your sir are NO Michael Jordan" Sure you will get your 30pts. but you won't still be making 60-million on endorsements after you have been retired as long as MJ has.

robby69, were you under the impression that LeBron is a member of FW? To whom are you speaking?

People pay to watch them live, and even when they don't, advertisers pay the networks who pay the teams who pay the athletes for getting people to see their ads while watching the teams.
Entertainment/luxury is an enormous part of our economy. If people only bought stuff that they truly need, then we'd have 50%+ unemployment.
Money will find its way towards sports franchises no matter how much athletes are paid, and I'd much rather see that they get the money instead of the owners pocketing 90% of it.

As much as I don't like LeBron, MJ is a douche as well.
Regarding an athlete (any athlete) being worth the money because they bring in dollars. I will buy this argument the day that there are no more referendums asking for me to pay for stadiums and arenas.

D Wade must be doing a slow burn, as LBJ is getting 99.9% of the press since the final game.
