Nice! I always throw out the socialist implications of this argument as well. The only way it makes sense in a capitalist economy to question what someone "should" make, is if you mean it relative to another position in their organization.
e.g. it would make sense to pose the argument, players make too much & some of their pay should go to other positions in the front office such as scouting.
Otherwise, I find the statements about how teachers should get paid more to be very tired, and for that matter, intellectually challenged. Also, Why single out athletes? Julia Roberts gets paid a lot more than most any of these guys w/out virtually any of the risk.
