In my social problems class today we got into a discussion about the monetary difference between the common people or "lower class" and that of the rich or "higher class" and one of my fellow students brought up the point that proffessional sports athletes are getting paid millions of dollars to just run a ball 100 yards or swing a bat.
Although it is true that they get paid alot of money for a task I cant help but wonder... isnt that our fault for buying tickets to watch them play? would bill gates be as rich if the common people didnt buy his product? if it wasnt for us they wouldnt be as rich, so do we have a right to complain if we are the ones that are really making them so much more wealthy than us?
