Salaries

Just a couple thoughts regarding the outrage over the high salaries of coaches, executives, etc..

  • If the shareholders of a company, athletic director or president of a school, or owner of a sports team wants to pay someone any salary, they should be entitle to do so. What irks me is the outrage over people who make this money. For instance, John Calapari, Kentucky's new basketball coach, has been hounded about why he was given such a lucrative contract. We've come to a point where he has to defend himself and the person who gave him this contract. This America, let the market decide what people make, not the faux jealousy from people who cannot make this kind of money!!
