It's not complicated Sports at the end of the day is business Not sure why people are still complaining about this Comment from : Im Dying in 2098 |
|
I love this, and you broke it down so easy These athletes wouldn’t be making the money they do if they weren’t bringing in 4x+ what they’re being paid Comment from : Richardo Frijole |

This knowledge is applicable in professional sports where revenue is directed by the fans, but the NCAA and federal government have both worked to undermine those market forces in college sports Out of all the NCAA leagues available, only D-1 Football and D-1 Men's Basketball ever drive sales or attention Every other NCAA sport and division, including every women's sport, is a loss-leader Federal and NCAA rules prohibit paying "student athletes" a salary, even if their revenue-generating ability rivals that of professional leagues, while federal law forces the university to subsidize all the loss-leading sports, giving full rides to athletes who couldn't fill a teacup, let alone a stadium Comment from : Jan Žižka |

Honestly I feel like Lebron should be making a lot more considering hes worth more to the NBA as a whole Comment from : Jose Aguilera |
|
Turns out the messi contract was a terrible idea that was completely unsustainable Comment from : O D |
|
Ticket sales & team merchandise only accounts for 10 to 40 of a teams revenue These salary's are not because of fans buying tickets Cable charges sports fees to the customers but with many people cutting the cord its predicted that by 2025 cable revenue for sports will drop by 33Cant wait till this bubble burst & it is a bubble Comment from : Wanda Meadows |

Athletes are not overpaid They do not get paid to play a game, they get paid to generate revenue And they generally only get about 50 of what they're actually generating Comment from : LiberDBell |

I don't watch the games, don't buy the merch The NBA in bed with the CCP, not gonna support them in the least Players kneeling for the National Anthem, go F themselves And franchise "values" let's see if the Broncos sell for the $4Billiion Nothing is worth the "value" unless someone ( stupid enough ) pays that price I watch highlights on YT for the NFL, occasionally watch games NBA, signed off on that years ago with all the whining MLB only thing of interest is Ohtani, period Comment from : Ohyeah What |

You get what you negotiate🤷🏽♂️💰 Comment from : Timothy Burke |
|
You are overpaid and under proven You found your niche Talking about a whole bunch of Bullsh Comment from : Goat78 |
|
As far as I am concerned, professional athletes are overpaid, highly, there should be a cap on all sports, if that cap is to be breached, it should be based on performance and or incentives, all based on sporting speciality of course This will keep fans tickets at a reasonable price, and even get more fans into stadiums, as well as there will be more money to be spent on investing and in development of sports, as well as there can be investments in minor teams, which can give more persons an opportunity to be sports personalities Alsono star, none, no matter how good they are, can play on a team by themselves, and thats a simple sporting fact Comment from : Reginald Rose |

Only in America can someone make hundreds of millions putting a ball in a hoop and still complain like a bitch about their disadvantages in the country Comment from : Jason rodriguez |
|
I know it might be an unpopular opinion but when you’re 1 of 400 people out of the millions trying to make the league you deserve to get paid a ton Comment from : MRO15 O |
|
Unfortunately society puts actors and entertainers on a pedestal Comment from : CAPE 1500j/kg |
|
If there wasn’t a salary cap in the nba and nfl, they would make a lot more Comment from : Ricardo Garcia |
|
How little of a payout would these athletes have to take to allow fans (the only reason for their wealth) to have reasonably priced tickets, merchandise, and concession at games? Comment from : xss20x |
|
sports teams in general are highly overvalued Comment from : tommy g |

|
I don't watch sports and never understood why ppl cheer for some getting paid ridiculous amount of money and bonuses when playing championship While the broke use their money to buy their shirts and hats Mean while they cash checks in the 100s of thousands Comment from : Vlad F |
|
When someone says "Athletes are so overpaid", they're telling you that have absolutely no critical thinking skills brbrIt's one of the dumbest bits of commentary I hear spewed by people on a consistent basis Comment from : lcceo22 |

|
I make a case that KD, LeBron, Curry, and all the top NBA stars are underpaid Having there contracts capped with max they aren't making fair market value Comment from : A K |
|
the only thing i don't see taken into account here is the fact that ratings for all leagues is down sorry, but the pro sports market in the usa, and probably worldwide, is grotesquely over valued Comment from : dpolitoaaa |
|
They worth every dollar Comment from : MAIN TOPIC |
|
Interesting video Consider me one of those cranky fans who rhetorically ask how this person or that can be paid as much as they are I would be interested to learn more about how a team/franchises value is measured The last twenty years the average team value always seems to go up, up, and up for the NBA or NFL Is there a scenario where that value goes down? Comment from : Eric Dale |
|
pay the players more they are who bring in you $$$ - they are all waaaaaayyyy under paid Comment from : hermia craft |
|
or just dont give a fuck Comment from : Emil Falsarella |

I do not agree with you SpencerbrbrThe problem is that no one ever mentions that these massive contracts are paid by fans What’s worse, hundreds of millions of people who care nothing for sports also pay heavily into these contracts!brbrWhen a player gets a $400 million contract who pays for that? It’s not the owner, it’s the fansbrbrWhen a league gets an enormous television contract who pays for that Not advertisers, it’s the consumers Do you think Visa sponsors sports out of the goodness of its heart? Nope, people who have never watched a minute of any type of sport pay huge interest rates that Visa uses to buy advertisingbrbrWhen a city is extorted into building sports venues it’s not the owners who pay for that billion dollar stadium—its every citizen living in that city who pays and it’s been proven that the ROI never comes close to paying for the cost and upkeep of these edificesbrbrWhen a single mom has to go buy her kids sneakers she has to weigh the hugely over inflated cost of those shoes against having to put her kid into psychiatric care after he’s been teased mercilessly for showing up to school in bargain basement kicks!brbrAND…those shoe companies giving billion dollar sponsorship contracts are doing it on the backs of millions of underpaid sweatshop workers trying to eke out a living on a couple dollars per day—because they live in a country where labour can be exploited! And companies like Nike are happy to exploit!brbrThere are also other intangible costs For example, paying does not guarantee performance How many multi-billion dollar teams have been inept for decades—whole lifetimes! When is it going to be Jacksonville raising the ‘Super’ Bowl in triumph for three consecutive seasons—you’ve got to feel for those fans!brbrThere are many more huge inequities…but this is YouTube I don’t want to piss off everyone!brbrLook, I’m no Communist and I do enjoy all kinds of sports—but this has gotten WAY out of hand The bottom line is that if the owners of sports franchise had to pay all the costs, if manufacturers couldn’t charge for goods at insane profit margins and the cost of paying for sports was borne by consumers of sports things would be quite different…and we would have the same owners, players and merchandise we have now—only it wouldn’t be so blatantly exploitative and immoral!

I bet most of them still aren’t happy Comment from : Mitchell Jack |

They're overpaid because nothing is real down here and it's just a distraction from what's really going on Think about itwhy pay a man to run up and down a court, and to toss pigskin around all day that much money?What value do they bring to society over a profession like firefighters, teachers, police officers etc? Wake up come out of the Matrix Comment from : jblackmoneyent |

Why is every mid to high level sales executive an ex pro footballer? Comment from : Joshua Patrick |
|
Also valuations have no direct impact of cash flow and having your brands valuation 5x seems like a great thing (especially for the Silicon Valley VC’s) but it’s a sort of arbitrary number until you are trying to sell the brand Comment from : Joshua Patrick |
|
Wages and salaries have not kept pace with the cost of living by a damn sightbut couldn’t Nike have taken 250,000,000 of that LeBron deal and paid their sweatshop workers better? Comment from : Joshua Patrick |

To be fair when you made 40k pre tax in 1991 you could support a family Of 4 at the bottom of “the middle class) only 20 years later you’d need 120k to afford the samebrLifestyle Hencemodern Marriage Comment from : Joshua Patrick |

Ppl at the top of the entertainment industry will always make crazy amounts of money, that’s just the way it is everyone loves being entertained I saw a comment saying it’s bc their talents are “rare” but that’s not actually why they make the money they do, there are millions of other ppl who have rare talent It’s bc you can entertain millions of ppl at one time with their rare talent where a surgeon or lawyer can only perform their rare talents, 1 person at a time Comment from : A FFTFOMSICHTS |
|
John Wall $171 mln 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Comment from : Vann Apragal |
|
I'd argue the athletes are not "underpaid" if only because of the steep decline in franchise value when they leave Comment from : rhaphazard ✖️ |
|
The organizations make to much money and so do the athletes but I guess that a discussion on what people value and want as entertainment Comment from : Brady Summers |
|
Either the money goes to the athletes or to Uber wealthy owners…the more of the money that can go to athletes the better Comment from : Jhoncena |
|
You are a beautiful man Comment from : T Animashins |
|
Athletes are paid because people pay for entertainment! People are stupid Comment from : Gabriela Martiniuc |
|
people who get jealous of people making a lot of money are simply jealous and also don't know how the world works The other day someone told me, it's not fair that NBA players make so much money It's wrong I'm like well as opposed to the franchise owners who are billionaires? So you'd rather the billionaire keep more money and the players who make the sport be paid less? Comment from : Don Lee |
|
Yes they’re overpaid However, you’re worth whatever the market believes you’re worth I definitely don’t blame them for getting as much money as possible brThe biggest issue with paying these guys so much is that they have influence People see these athletes and want to have what they have As we’ve come to learn, thanks to Spencers videos, its that most of these guys aren’t responsible enough to handle this money But people don’t see that, all they see is the money and the famebrPro athletes have won the genetic AND financial lottery in their life and social media has got regular people thinking they can do the same Comment from : Crayvd |
|
Its very simple Its capitalism In a healthy and reasonable economic system, no sports person would ever make 50x more than a surgeon that saves someones life At the end of the day you are the best at throwing a ball in the basket Comment from : kristijan radovac |
|
“The Bulls can’t afford to pay me what I’m worth” That’s what Michael Jordan said around the height of his playing Comment from : Roccofan |
|
Think about what the owners are making Comment from : Eddy mmm |
|
They arent "over paid" in relation to the revenue that they generatebrThe reason why people think they are over paid is because some of these athletes get 200mil and still say the teams need to pay them more, while 90 of the population is living off under 40k a year brbrThey literally make more money in a month than most people will see in their entire lifetime brSo, a lot of people just cant wrap their head around that Myself included Comment from : Stephen Denino |
