Well way too much money, especially considering how injuries can make such deals look ridiculous on the part of owners; but every time I see stories like this that highlight how much money top athletes make today, it is shocking and sickening that society places such a high value on them. This world is really fuc_ed up. Same goes for film actors and musicians. I understand entertainers generate oodles of cash, but for Christ sake, this is disgusting.

If you were one of only 800 people who could do a particular job that was in high demand, you'd command such a salary as well. -

I don't know. How many millions of people felt elated for several days (and some continue to feel the elation) after the Cubs won, compared to how people feel after paying a plumber $500 to fix a clogged sink?
And, I'm not slamming plumbers/laborers at all. I value their work. -

$40? lol.
I live in New York, so I know we're used to paying more, but where the hell can you get an average ticket for $40? A beer costs at least $12 at Yankee Stadium, parking costs almost $30

FYI, currently on StubHub there's $15 tickets (after fees) for several regular season games at Yankee Stadium, including the entire 3 day series against the Blue Jays 5/1/2017 - 5/3/2017. Snatch those bad boys up now.

This is not news. I want 400 million over 10 years as well. Preferably delivered weekly in $770,000 cash increments by a nude Emmy Rossum along with a fine Opium Pipe and a Glenlivet 25. It's not gonna happen but I'd like it too. Like Bryce and John Lennon, I too am a dreamer. But my thing has as much of a chance of happening as Bryce getting 400 million and all the people living life in peace.
