lol....There are athletes out there who put most actors and musicians to shame when it comes to humanitarian efforts, charitable work and other things like that.

Yes many athletes have huge ego's....You kind of have to in order to compete at the highest levels. But you would be surprised at how many athletes donate a TON of time, money, and effort to all sorts of great causes.

And why care about how much money they make?? Clearly there is a market for what they do. It is us citizens who are paying their salary.

Same with entertainers....I honestly dont mind that celebrities make such good money because they have gifts that the rest of us dont have, and then the rest of us PAY to see them display those gifts.
