At best, it's a very uncomfortable relationship. At worst, it's a permanently sealed bond that takes over the minds and actions of athletes. People try to avoid both of them when they're together. And yet, when the facts are in, you can't deny the connection. And almost everybody's opinion is that athletes are overvalued.
People resent the money that players receive.
And, for whatever reason, they don't like to think that their precious sports are in any way connected to the pure evil that is money . A big, big business. And even though most of us can face that reality, the relationship between dollars and dingers is still rather unusual. Athletes salaries in the three main sports have continued to skyrocket over the past ten years. So, while the revenue-generating mediums are losing power, the athletes are demanding to be paid more and more.
