As a first responder myself I want to completley agree but theres a reason athletes get paid so much, even if people think it's too much. Arguing that athletes are over paid hinges close to leftist communist territory. The market dictates athlete salaries based off of competition and the value they add in terms of entertainment and money that brings. First responders unfortunately don't bring money in. But we don't do our jobs to earn that amount of money and am satisfied with my pay
