    I don’t disagree, but…

    1. they contribute far more to society and make far less than many.
    2. It’s a lot harder than “play a sport a few times a week”.

      Also shorter careers than most fields, and high injury risk of shortening it even further. My concern is the folks fighting to get into, and stay in the league, making very little comparatively. But they still have the same risks to not be able to function properly due to injury, but don’t have the security of big earnings during a decently long career.
