Am I the only one who thinks it is sad that professional athletes get paid so much?

Does not matter to me how much they make but when we have young men and women willing to risk their lives every day in service of our country who don't get paid diddly it is a shame. Then when the professional athlete "snaps" and kills his wife or s someone they get away with it. If the soldier "snaps" they get thrown in the brink or some VA hospital (that is grossly under funded).
