Professional Athletes are Greedy

Sport athletes with big names make multi-millions of dollars a year from their team, plus a select few make big money from sponsors as well.  What I dislike about this whole thing is the fact of how greedy these players can get.  The ones that leave one team to play for another because of a bigger salary clearly shows they love money more than they do the actual sport.  Take it as an honor that people come out to see you play.  Afterall, it is the spectators that fill the stands who pay those checks. 

Those who attend college and opt out early for the draft only prove they went to college for the sport.  There are a select few athletes who go back to college to finish up their degrees and I highly commend them on those antics.  Athletes take for granted how priveleged they are to make so much money and be able to go out and have fun doing it.  I would love to be able to play baseball for the next 15-20 years of my life and make a fraction of what they make, but I am not lucky like that.  Instead I am pushing myself through 4-5 years of college to get a degree to hopefully be able to live comfortably a few years down the road.  I was raised in a low-middle class family whose father got laid off twice and spent countless months overseas for military duty.  Take it from me, this is not an easy toll on my family.  My mother and father busted their backs to put a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and food on our table.  Greedy people who want even more spending money should be ashamed.  They would not be able to make it as a regular citizen. 

I want to open this up to arguement also as to why athletes make so much more money for doing what seems like less work throughout a year.
