: : 1. Hockey or Football?
: As a rule, I hate all sports, but I guess hockey since the players aren't being paid as much. The salaries of pro sports players sickens me.
-I am pretty sure that I heard that Hockey players salaries are about 78% of the total revenue, as opposed to the roughly 60% that baseball players get. My stats may be old, who knows.
-One thing to keep in mind too, is that these atheletes are NOT paid to play sports. They are paid to sell tickets, food, clothes, tv contracts, etc. You shouldn't be sick. Jealous maybe, but sick, no.
