The average NFL player makes 3.2 million dollars. The league minimum is 860,000 dollars. Click here if you want proof.
The average US physician takes home 374,000 dollars. Again, proof.
So no, I'm not comparing a doctor in rural Indiana to Josh Allen. The point I'm making is that people who actually save and change lives get peanuts while our entertainment makes absurd amounts of money. I never said I hate the athletes. I never said they shouldn't be paid well. But its factual that most piss all their money away. Idk why you guys are so friggin defensive over this.
Actually you still are. The data is correct but the problem lies higher; The average NFL player is not the average football player. They’re the best of the best. You’re forgetting all of the other football ball players who make almost nothing. The average physician does in fact make more than the average athlete.
Average NFL player in the Unite States of America has a salary of 800k+
Average physician in the United States of America has a salary of roughly 375k.
I don't think people who work in entertainment should make more money than doctors, police, firefighters, ems, teachers.
Thats it. Not sure the average athlete you're referring to, and at this point, I don't care. Average atheletes that are good in high school or college are working professionally as something else because that avenue didn't pan out.
I played high school basketball. That already made me better than the average basketball player because the average basketball player didn’t even make a high school team.
