u kno how many lives cud be saved if ONE high-payed player (10mil+) donated ONE year's salary to a poor country
hate to use the cliche "in india people are dying", but its true
10 mill (thats 1 yr of bball, 1 player, not includin sponsorships, etc) cud be distributed as $10,000 for 1000 different people. u kno how much suttin that little to a bball player cud affect people's lives?
n wit all of american sports, all of the overpayed athletes, u kno how much money that is?
sports is a MULTIBILLION dollar industry
is entertaining americans that much more important then savin people's lives who are livin in hell just for bein born in the wrong place?

right, but the fact is PEOPLE provide them with that income, so if you've ever been to a professional sports event then you are a hypocrite if you also believe they get payed too much.......
but about the donating salary, thats a personal choice
its up to them what they do with they money that they've worked for
thats a moral issue with individuals, nothing to do with the league
the league cant just take their money and be like "nah sorry, you're not getting payed this year, people are starving in india"
