How is reciving a high salary corruption? You don't understand that when a society places its highest values on a baseball player that there may be something wrong with that society? If you don't understand that......if its not obvious to you, then I don't think I can explain it to you. How does it hurt the common good? Would the everyone else be better off if A-Rod played for $20mil, or $15mil, or $2.34 per year? Where does the money come from to pay A-Rod $26 million?

Forget A-Rod as the poster boy - Beckham is going to make $1 million per week for 5 years to play soccer in LA. Like most of us, I had no idea that LA even has a soccer team. The merit behind reducing athlete pay would be lower ticket prices. How to get the salary saving passed on to the ticket price I'm not sure, but that would be the objective.
