Do I think sportspeople are paid too much nowadays? It depends on which sport(s) you're talking about. For footballers, Definitely! Way too much as a matter of fact!
However, there's nothing you can do about it, because that's only natural when it's so commercialised and globalised. Football has changed so much. Look at the EPL teams. Many of the fans used to be more working class but now they're more middle class or even upper class -- just think about how crazily expensive a season ticket would cost in Stanford Bridge (£613). I wonder how much you'll need to make to be able to afford that as a leisure.
