Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?

Is there a point you can find in history where we paid doctors, teachers, and nurses close to what they’re worth and more than professional athletes?

It sounds like you’re nostalgic for a time that never existed.

There was definitely a time when professional athlete was hardly a career, and certainly not well paid. So for a time teachers and healthcare workers got paid more than athletes.

  In the CFL (Canadian Football League) the players don’t make more than $100,000/yr generally, and the good ones get scooped up to the NFL.
