That's a giant problem with american celebrities today. Being overpaid. Paying someone $100 Million to do commercials, and then probably paying them a salary of $100 Million to play a game, and then watch, he'll fuck up and miss stupid shots.. They should pay athletes on a yearly or monthly CPA deal. "score these many points, you get $1M". If any sport that should be paid more it's Hockey. Those guys go through more shit and grit than any other national sport today (rugby is not a national sport here so dont bitch). In hockey you need something called SKILL just to start playing, then you need to develop your puck handling, shot accuracy, and lets not forget, how to properly take a body hit against the boards. In basketball, if someone falls down they make a giant deal about it.. In hockey, they measure if blood was drawn or not.
