Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I do think some athletes are paid excessively but the ownership is a much better target for our ire. Professional athletes work very hard for their money and while the pay disparity between them and other workers might be unjust, there are 1000 other injustices that rank higher.

I user to think all professional athletes were grossly overpaid but in general it's only the "stars" that have the super ridiculous salaries.

An NFL lineman making $2-6 million a year seems crazy except when you consider that the national leagues are difficult to get into and require the highest level of skill/talent (usually... sometimes you get a real turd like Burfict).

An injury could kill their career immediately, and they're all pretty much speed running an entire 30-40 year career (with salary and retirement savings) in half a dozen seasons.

Yep, a year of playing Burns up probably 5 years minimum of bodily health. They definitely deserve a fair amount of money for that.
