    Professions that have a high pay cealing do have a different relationship to capital than miners, nurses etc., but most athletes and musicians still aren’t millionaires - a lot of professional athletes and musicians actually earn less than median wage. It just feels like a waste of effort to complain about a celebrity who owns tens of millions, when the core issue is the people who own hundreds and thousands of millions.

      We aren’t talking about those athletes. Nobody thinks that professional athletes that don’t make any money are overpaid.

        hey now be fair, there are absolutely sports fans who think the teams they dislike would be paid too much if their salary consisted of lethal injections.
