Yes
Why should a person who is good at kicking a ball, make more in a week than a doctor who helps to battle disease and cure people, a fireman who pulls people from burning buildings, a policeman who stops a crazed gunman from going on a killing spree do in a year/several years? An argument on the other column said that they affect the lives of millions of people - yes, people can get upset, but there are no real world ramifications that drastically change the lives of millions if a sports team wins or loses. However an epidemiologist who manages to predict the spread of the next major disease and prevent it from reaching pandemic level would not get the same kind of financial recognition... The same as the person who manages to cure cancer (fine, the Nobel prize gets you $1 million, but compared to premier league footballers who make £200,000 per week it is an insult to intellect). It is bonkers that things work this way - in a fair society sport would be entirely amateur and every athlete would have a day job and actually commit something useful to society
