While I am all for earning as much as possible the fact that Shaquille O'Neal makes $40,517,858 and schoolteachers are lucky to earn 50,000 a year is appalling

Well don;t go to ANY games, stop watching sport on TV (including highlights on news shows), don't buy sneakers, don't wear the apparel.

I don't disagree that MANY jobs in our society are underapid, and badly. but it is the PUBLIC that dictate how much money these guys are worth.

They would be fools (or should get better managers) if they didn't milk it for EVERY dime they can get.

I don't begrudge them a cent.

I ALSO don't envy them for a second and would NEVER change places.

Not for 10 times Shaq's annual take.
