Personally I think the work hero is thrown around too easily today. Specialy with sports "heros". How the heck can they be a hero? When they are on the ice or court or field, are they saving someones life at the risk of their own?
Personally I think sports players should never be payed millions of bucks to play on a team and then payed millions more for endorsements. They have not saved anyones life.
Doctors/EMTs/Firefighters/Police/ ect all save lives every single day, everyone of them are under paid for what they do or the kind of dangers they put themselves into for what is usually too many hours for very skimpy pay.
What should happen (I think) is sports players should not be payed more then say a million bucks at the most, maybe even only 500,000. Let them get all their money from endorsments. That would sure clean up some of the "bad boys" in a hurry.
Then with all the extra money from sports events, Doctors/EMTs/Firefighters/Police/ ect can be paid more and more Doctors/EMTs/Firefighters/Police/ ect could be around to help take off some of the pressure current Doctors/EMTs/Firefighters/Police/ ect are under.
I don't know how bad it is everywhere else but up here in Canada doctors are heading to the US because they get more money and work less hours. Personally I would like to know that the doctor that is working on me only works at most a 12 hour shift, then goes home for 8 hours of sleep and a few hours with family.
