Do professional athletes make too much money, or do they deserve every penny?  Why?

Professional athletes make what the market will bear.  And I don't think the sports team owners are getting hurt.  Look at the Yankees.  Not including their stake in the YES network, they are worth over $1 billion today.  And although showing a $50million loss after revenue sharing, with their YES stake they cleared over $150 million.  And, in terms of team value alone, the CAGR since Steinbrenner bought the team is over 14% a year.  That all takes into account the players' salaries.

As to athletes in individual sports, such as golf and tennis, they make whatever their talents and charisma allows.  Sounds pretty fair to me.
