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 2 million a year. That's why they pay

athletes these fantastic salaries. I was listening to the radio the other day.

They just contracted to pay one player on one team 6 million 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.

Then he begins to throw the Christians to the lions.

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.

150 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.
