Should there be a limit placed on the amount of money sports stars are paid. I think the amount of money given to players has gotten to the point of being ridiculous.

Bet the players don't think so. Matter of fact they make more off endorcements than they do from the teams if they are real good.

Every team wants to win the big one, and they need to get the fans out to the games, so they go to these exorbitant lengths and pay these phenomenal sums to lure players who they think can help them do either or both.

I believe that all major sports should have a salary cap like the NFL and Baseball.  The players for all other major sports except golf are getting paid way to much which I believe leads to ticket prices being more so the average joe can't go to watch his favorite player in action.

There is no doubt that they are getting paid too much, they should get capped and have to pay a certain amount to charities around the world.

I think they get paid too much. I think that of other really high paid individual in some other walks of life as well. On the other hand the owners are the one's shelling out the cash and we still go and watch them play.

I do think they are being paid too much, but then again I rate in the working poor myself. I don't go an watch sports unless I win tickets or they are on TV. endorsing the sport is encouraging the problem to persist. However there has been nothing to indicate that the rich and poor will be less separated in the coming years as opposed to more separated.
