No, I do get it.
Any running back in the NFL, even a bench warmer is an example of extremely elite skill. That was covered in posts before mine.
My point is simply that the standard of comparison between running backs and teachers that determines pay differentials has nothing to do with quality or skill. It's solely about their ability to generate revenue. It's pretty obvious, actually, in that the highest paid teacher in the country might get paid for teaching what the 35th best running back gets paid for running. Clearly that's an estimate, but I think the point is valid.
In other words, I'm not necessarily arguing against your point, but just tightening the language up a bit.
