As I have been researching this topic I found one thing in common with all the articles I read. Entertainment. Us Americans value entertainment so much, that it is almost valued more than our safety and well-being. Another example would be the small population of humans who are able to perform sports the way they do. If everyone could slam dunk or throw a ball 95 mph, would sports be nearly as entertaining?
Why do people value entertainment more than things they actually need?
Does being idolized have to do with their fame and fortune?
What factors add to their salaries? (Endorsements, jerseys, etc.)
Have Pro athletes always been paid so much?
I plan on answering the 1st and 4th questions because I think researching why we value entertainment so much, as well as some history of this topic would be beneficial to my understanding.
