Critique of Athlete Salaries and Society

I don't care how long he works, and I don't care what he does.

There is no job worth two million dollars a year.

That's why they pay athletes these fantastic salaries.

I was listening to radio the other day.

They just contracted to pay one, one player on one team six

million dollars

a year.

Can you believe this?

And why is that?

It's the Roman circus.

What does the emperor do

when the people become restive, and when the people are asking questions, and

when the people don't like the policies of the emperor?

He sends them to the circus. He creates a circus.

He builds a giant coliseum, and he begins to throw the Christians to

the lions. And he has great chariot races and

football games and basketball games, all to

keep the idiots preoccupied with things that don't

mean anything in the scheme of the entire world,

so that they don't have the time to learn what the truth is, so they don't ever get

smart enough to learn how they're being manipulated,

so they don't ever question the emperor.

A hundred and fifty

of the most powerful men and women in the world can meet in secret

in

Baden-Baden, Germany, can plot the fate of billions,

and nobody even cares about it.

But six football players go to lunch together, and it's in the headlines

across the country.

You have a reflection of the society in which that exists.
