His Heart Goes Out to Poor Bo Jackson

The recent publication of Kings’ salaries points up the fact that the vast majority of these people are undoubtedly the most overpaid underachievers in the history of American society. Look also at the Dodgers, the Raiders, etc. Supposedly grown men playing kids’ games and getting paid more than doctors, cops, scientists, etc., even if their performances are mediocre. I hereby propose an indefinite national boycott of all professional sports events, until this insanity stops.
