Too Much Money Wasted on Sports

Have you ever wondered why athletes in the NBA, NFL, or Baseball league get paid millions of dollars to play a simple sport? I think they get paid way to much money for what they do. Nurses, Teachers and people that actually work just as hard as they do not see half the money these athletes see, and that is not right. I believe our nation could do better financially if they decreased the amount of money celebrities, and athletes get. Some of the money could be used to help over hundreds of thousands of homeless people, or people that are struggling. If playing sports is your passion, and your life why should you get paid all that money?
