Why Do Athletes Get Over Paid?

The highest paid Cubs player will make 19 million dollars in 2012. The lowest paid Cubs player will make 417,000 in 2012. The highest paid Bulls player will make 13.5 million in 2012. The lowest paid Bulls player will make 850,000 in 2012. As you can see these players might have a difference between what they get paid but this is how athletes get over paid.
Athletes make more money in a season than an average family makes a year decade. As an example my parents both work multiple jobs and can hardly pay bills.

At the same time athletes are getting millions of dollars just to entertain people and we work to help people. In other words, a family that actually make a decent amount of money makes less in a decade than an athlete does in one season.

Of course you have to spoil their kids and wife/husband.
