I don't disagree, but..

they contribute far more to society and make far less than many.
It's a lot harder than "play a sport a few times a week".

I know that professional sports is a lot of training and a lot of hard work, but why is it a several-million-dollar a year job. I mean, it's no wonder so many high school kids want to go into professional sports, thinking they'll be paid millions to just do something they'd be doing anyway on their time off.

And I'm not sure in what way they contribute to society other than playing a game for entertainment. There's value in that, yes, but mostly for the networks and these athletes would probably play no matter what salary they got - if not, then obviously they aren't really athletes but just paid actors.
