Really? Sports team salaries are public. The 2014 LA Galaxy top salary is 4.5M (Landon Donovan), and the bottom salary is 36K (Bradford Jamieson IV).

- tolmasky 11y agoAs I mentioned in a lower comment, I would be fine being payed less than someone who is clearly doing more than me (where more is a function of the job of course). When I was an engineer at a large company, there are many people there that I'd probably be upset about NOT making more than me. This does not mean I'm underpaid. Underpaid is when you are paid less than what you are bringing/the market rate. Landon Donovan is a superstar that brings in the crowds to LA Galaxy. Bradford Jamieson IV is an 18 year old who has a career total 8 goals. The point is not having everyone settle on ONE average salary or something, its not allowing similarly skilled/performing people receive widely different salaries based on unrelated things like negotiation skills. If anything, I'd wager in the sports world most similarly performing athletes make similar amounts thanks to this.
