That irks me, when I see what teachers make annually. Like any NBA player ever made a huge difference in making some kid's life better? (Well unless it's a publicity stunt)
C'mon...it's just gotten out of control.

Teachers and many other professions should be paid more, but the competition level is much less than that of an athlete.
Think about it: millions of kids play sports in the USA like basketball or football. How many make it into college level athletics? 3% for men's basketball. Millions play, but only a few advance to play in college. 1.2% go from college to pro. This has to be the highest level of competition in the world, at least it seems so.
