text: Hmm does it really matter how much they are being paid?  If they play well, then what's the problem.   It's only money.\n\nHowever, in a more global aspect, I think that when a successful organization is making a profit, they have other obligations to pay attention to.  Since payroll is the highest expense in any organization, and there is a profit happening from somewhere, the obligation is to the community and those that are not as fortunate.  It doesn't matter to me how much a player makes.  If the player is good, has skill, and has alot to offer the team then so be it.  I would also like to see the teams also contribute to their communities and states.  (And most do - even those highly paid players do as well.)
