Professional Athletes

First off, I was once that kid when I was growing up wished I could be a pro athlete. I always dreamed off being so good at basketball that I could make millions and have adoring fans and be big and famous. I soon realized that I go to Homer so any chance of that happening died. Now, that I see pros making all of the money that they do for something as dumb as a sport is quite ridiculous. There are people that work their asses off their entire lives and barely make enough money to survive. All of the money that pros make should not be given to them. All they really do is play a backyard sport and people love them for no reason. I'm not saying that I hate these people but, what I am saying is why do they worship them? The sport will make no impact on their life most likely. The chances of them winning the lottery is probably better than them becoming a professional athlete.
